Deals With The Issue Of Whether Plaintiff Was A Successful Party – He Was Not.
In a July 20, 2018 post, we discussed Hall v. Superior Court, a 4th District, Division 1 case which considered whether a plaintiff was a “successful party” for purposes of a private attorney general fees award under either the “primary objective” or “before and after” tests. He was found not deserving of an award given that his driver’s license was not reinstated, the real goal of the litigation. We posted on the opinion when it was unpublished, but we can now report it was certified for publication on August 15, 2018.
