Opinion

PER CURIAM:

These claims have been consolidated by the Court on its own motion since all of the claims are governed by the same principles of law.

The claimants are attorneys who served as counsel for indigents in mental hygiene hearings pursuant to the provisions of West Virginia Code, Chapter 27, Article 5. Claimants’ fees were denied by the respondent because the fund was exhausted.
