Hefty SLAPP Fees Awarded to Victorious Cross-Defendant in Trade Secret Case.
In our June 27, 2009 post, we reviewed the previously unpublished decision by the Fourth District, Division 3 in Raining Data Corp. v. Barrenechea. This decision was certified for publication on July 21, 2009.
Raining Data affirmed a $112,353.35 attorney’s fees award to a successful cross-defendant in a SLAPP motion, rejecting the argument that fee claimants must submit detailed time records rather than provide a detailed attorney declaration as substantiation in support of a fee request in California state courts.
