$84,995.25 Was Requested; Only $1,586 In Fees Awarded.
Although there was no explicit appellate discussion on this issue, Triplett v. Decron Properties Corp., Case No. B295126 (2d Dist., Div. 1 Sept. 24, 2020) (unpublished) is a reminder for parties seeking fee recovery to provide sufficient evidence in support of a substantial request. The particulars are not reported, but the prevailing party sought $84,995.25 in attorney’s fees and was awarded only $1,586 based on lack of sufficient evidence. The moral to this one is to make sure there is a competent proof support to your fee motion.
