$128,004.50 Fee Award Sustained Under Consumer Fee-Shifting Statutes Where $8,600 Was The Settlement Amount.
On September 20, 2017, we posted, and co-contributor Marc on his California Mediation and Arbitration blog posted, on Medina v. South Coast Car Company, Inc., Case No. D069820 which was unpublished at the time. In that case, the appellate court affirmed a $128,004.50 lower court fee award where a settlement under consumer fee-shifting statutes only came to $8,600, but with a reservation to allow plaintiff to seek fees under the settlement agreement. We can now report that the case was certified for publication on September 25, 2017.
