Lengthy Litigation Can Lead To Large Fee Awards, Which Require An Adequate Record To Challenge.
The moral from Westpark Village, et al. v. Khanna, Case No. A164667 (1st Dist., Div. 2 Sept. 28, 2022) (unpublished), which involved a contractual fee award of $365,495.02 against defendants after years of litigation, is simple—make sure you have an adequate appellate record when you challenge such an award. Here, defendants only put their fee opposition papers; failure to provide the moving paperwork was fatal.
