What You Need to Know about Fee-and-Costs Awards on Appeal

The issue that most often drags appeals back into more litigation is attorney fee and costs. What happens when, while focusing on the appeal, the prevailing party gets a substantial award of fees and costs?

- Do you have to separately appeal from the fees and costs award? (Yes…usually.)
- How can you stay enforcement of the fees and costs award? (Fee & cost awards are stayed automatically…sometimes.)
- If you win the underlying appeal, what happens to the fees and costs award? (It goes away automatically…in theory.)

We discuss these questions and more in this nuts-and-bolts episode of the California Appellate Law Podcast.

I received an abstract of order and a nunc pro tunc to correct minute order. But the party awarded appearance costs to the losing party. In their claim which was lost, was the only place costs where asked. The judge offered costs from my claim, she never asked. This was a small claims trial de novo which I am wanting to file a writ of review. I'm stuck on the law to reference.
