Valentine v. La Jolla Bank
Arthur and Janet Valentine appeal an order awarding attorney fees to La Jolla Bank, FSB, in this action by them against the bank for its alleged negligence in disbursing construction loan funds to their joint venture partner. They contend that, in accordance with the terms of the attorney fee provisions of the loan documents, La Jolla Bank is not entitled to recover attorney fees incurred in defending against a tort cause of action. Court conclude that a provision in the construction loan agreement is broad enough to authorize the recovery of attorney fees in this case and affirm the trial court's order.
