Tennen v. Finstad
Appellants challenge a trial court order denying their motion for attorney fees and costs. They contend that the trial court erred in its application of Code of Civil Procedure section 998, Civil Code section 1717, and Civil Code section 1942.5. Court agree with appellants argument regarding section 998. Because appellants obtained a more favorable result than the one set forth in their section 998 offer to compromise, they are entitled to recover their postoffer attorney fees and costs. ( 998, subd. (c).) Accordingly, Court reverse the trial court order denying appellants motion for attorney fees and costs and remand the issue of the reasonable amount of appellants postoffer attorney fees and costs to the trial court for determination.
