Orange County Water Dist. v. The Arnold Engineerin
The Orange County Water District (the District) appeals a postjudgment order awarding The Arnold Engineering Company (Arnold) approximately $615,000 in costs of proof under Code of Civil Procedure section 2033.420 based on the District's failure to admit certain fact specific requests for admission (RFAs) during discovery. The District contends the trial court erred in making the award because (1) the District had reasonable grounds to believe it would prevail on the matters at issue under section 2033.420, subdivision (b)(3), and (2) even if it did not, Arnold did not adequately substantiate its costs with admissible evidence.
