Silver Horse Equities v. Ahmad CA2/3
Defendants and appellants Victoria Ali-Ahmad and Mazen Ali-Ahmad (Tenants) appeal a judgment in favor of plaintiff and respondent Silver Horse Equities, LLC (formerly known as Tenth Street Venture, LLC) (hereafter, Landlord), insofar as the judgment awarded Landlord its attorney fees in the sum of $95,197.50.
Tenants contend Landlord was not entitled to an award of attorney fees as the prevailing party because it did not attempt to resolve the matter through mediation before filing suit, as required by the lease agreement.
We conclude the record supports the trial court’s determination that Landlord duly attempted to resolve the dispute through mediation before commencing litigation and that the failure to mediate was attributable to Tenants. Therefore, the judgment is affirmed.
