Lower Court Did Reduce The Requested Fees By About 30%.
A neighbor won a civil harassment restraining order proceeding in Judson v. Tait, Case No. B346920 (2d Dist., Div. 6 July 14, 2026) (unpublished), subsequently requesting prevailing party fees of $76,467 under a fee-shifting statute in this area. The lower court reduced the request by 30%, awarding neighbor $53,527. On appeal, losing appellant could not get over the deferential abuse of discretion review standard especially given the lower court’s reduction in the requested fees.
