Storage Facilities Had A Clear Fee Entitlement Provision, With Another Provision Not Capping Them At All—With Reasonable Fees Being The Only Limitation.
In Enjati v. Big Bear Moving, Inc., Case No. E068332 (4th Dist., Div. 2 Mar. 13, 2019) (unpublished), defendants were awarded contractual attorney’s fees after prevailing at trial on a storage facility dispute. Defendants sought $47,292 in fees, but they were awarded $40,642 instead. Losing plaintiff appealed, to no avail. Plaintiff could not beat the fact that there was a fee entitlement contractual provision, which was not capped by another provision which only put a “reasonable fee” limitation generally applicable under Civil Code section 1717 anyway on fee recovery. Fee award affirmed.
