ANNOTATIONSWhere attorney fees not authorized. — Where plaintiff brought a claim against defendant bank for failure to record the satisfaction of a mortgage pursuant to 48-7-4 NMSA 1978, it was error for the district court to award attorney fees pursuant to 48-7-24 NMSA 1978, because this section only authorizes attorney fees for actions brought under 48-7-15 through 48-7-24 NMSA 1978, and there was no theory presented at trial that 48-7-15 through 48-7-24 NMSA 1978 were violated.
