Ok, I think I got it now. Judge awarded $307,000 and $108,000 in attorney’s fee’s. A certain amount of the $108,000 is supposed to come out of the $307,000. One side(I assume the winner of the suit) says the amount taken from the $307,000 should only go up to 10% of the $307,000, which would be $30,700. $108,000 - $30,700 = $77,300. Therefore the loser in the suit would pay $307,000 + $77,300 which comes to a total of $384,300. But the other side(I assume the loser of the suit) says according to the law, the amount taken should go up to 25% of the $307,000. 25% of $307,000 is $76,750. $108,000 - $76,750 = $31,250. Therefore the loser in the suit would pay $307,000 + $31,250 which comes to a total of $338,250.

Is my understanding correct?
