Second District Affirms $67,458.07 Attorneys’ Fees Awarded To Prevailing Defendant On Remand (CA)

/ Owner - November 19, 2019

We first discussed our next case – Durack v. Wang, Case No. B293597 (2d Dist., Div. 7 November 18, 2019) (unpublished) – in a September 27, 2017 post. In that appeal, Wang, who prevailed on demurrer against most of plaintiffs’ causes of action – with the remaining causes of action voluntarily dismissed by plaintiffs – challenged the trial court’s denial of her motion for attorneys’ fees. There, the 2/7 DCA found Wang to be the prevailing party under Civ. Code section 5975(c) [the Davis-Stirling Act] as Plaintiffs’ complaint sought to enforce CC&Rs. With that, the 2/7 DCA reversed and remanded with direction to the lower court to enter a fee award to Wang with proper apportionment.   Read the article………………………….
