. . . But Fees Had To Be Allocated To Only Successful Claims Because Opponent Prevailed On Some Issues.
The Colony at Cal. Oaks HOA v. Majestic Asset Mgt., LLC, Case No. D083140 (4th Dist., Div. 1 June 18, 2026) (unpublished) was an HOA versus certain member dispute involving a golf course. The case, on appeal, resulted in mixed results, but HOA was determined to be the overall prevailing party based on obtaining its litigation objectives. So, the issue was how were appellate costs and fees to be awarded? The appellate court determined that (1) costs were awarded to HOA, and (2) reasonable fees on remand should be awarded by the lower court to HOA, but limited to apportioning fees to the issues on appeal upon which HOA prevailed.
