The following excerpt is from Brown v. General Motors Corp., Chevrolet Div., 722 F.2d 1009 (2nd Cir. 1983):
Under the Act it is the prevailing party rather than the lawyer who is entitled to attorney's fees. See Oguachuba v. INS, 706 F.2d 93, 97 (2d Cir.1983) (interpreting similar language in the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2412(d)(1)(A) (Supp. V 1981)).
