A Re-Do Was Ordered To Be Done By The Trial Judge In The First Instance.
In Placencia v. Strazicich, Case No. G055631 (4th Dist., Div. 3 Nov. 26, 2019) (published), our local Santa Ana appellate court reversed a trial judge’s characterization of bank account funds which had led the lower court to award attorney’s fees to trustee as the prevailing party. Given that the appellate ruling might have undermined that conclusion, the trial judge had to revisit the fee entitlement issue and amount of any fees to be awarded on remand. Justice Ikola authored the decision, which deals with an interpretation of provisions of California’s Multiple-Party Accounts Law.
