Homeowner Prevailing In Unlawful Foreclosure Of Condo Unit Case Was Entitled To $434,000 In Damages And $720,000 In Attorney’s Fees (CA)

Yikes! Talk about a change in fortune based on a prior appeal. Homeowner finally won, obtaining damages and substantial attorney’s fees for hanging in there to the end.  In Multani v. Castle Green Homeowners Assn., Case No. B278397 (2d Dist., Div. 7 May 28, 2019) (unpublished), HOA earlier won a summary judgment and $90,000 in attorney’s fees in connection with foreclosing on a HOA assessment lien.
