Yang v. Fields
Fields prevailed on a special motion to strike (anti-SLAPP motion) as to all of the causes of action in a second amended complaint filed by Yang and was awarded $25,789.50 in fees and costs pursuant to section 425.16, subdivision (c). Court affirmed the trial courts order granting the anti-SLAPP motion in a nonpublished opinion. (Yang v. Fields (Feb. 28, 2008, B194124).) In a separate nonpublished opinion, Court reversed the attorney fee award, because a prevailing defendant on a motion to strike may recover fees and costs only on the motion to strike, and the trial court had improperly included in the award fees and costs unrelated to that motion. (Yang v. Fields (May 8, 2008, B196322).) Court then remanded the matter to the trial court to determine the amount and fees and costs to which Fields was entitled under section 425.16, subdivision (c), including fees and costs on appeal. (Ibid.)
