Nelson v. Pickford Real Estate, Inc.
Donald R. Nelson and Brenda Arnett Nelson (the Nelsons), purchasers of residential real property, appeal from the judgment in favor of the real estate agent for the sellers in their action for damages arising out of failure to disclose defects in the property. They argue the trial court made prejudicial rulings on the admission of evidence and jury instructions. Court find no error and affirm the judgment.
The Nelsons also appeal from the order awarding the agent expert witness fees under Code of Civil Procedure section 998 for their failure to accept an offer to compromise. They claim the offer was ambiguous and not made in good faith. Court find the offer was uncertain and did not operate to shift costs under section 998; accordingly, Court reverse the order awarding expert fees.
