Fatal error issue

Just wondering if anyone knows why this might happen.

I'm getting a fatal error which isn't anything new. Usually when I get a fatal error the css breaks and anything after that line of code with the error doesn't load.

This time I have the css break, but the code after the fatal error does still show (to some degree). 

The fatal error is on a getOwnerEntity() what we are trying to get owner entities on are objects and the view should display the owner's name. What's weird is that the view does in fact display the owner's name correctly, but it still says there is a fatal error. 

Confused? Yeah me too. Any thoughts would be great.

Thanks in advance
