McLarand, Vasquez & Partners, Inc. v. Downey Savings & Loan Ass'n

Opinion

WALLIN, J.

Following a jury trial both McLarand, Vasquez & Partners, Inc. (McLarand), and Downey Savings & Loan Association (Downey) were denied relief on the complaint and cross-complaint they brought against each other. Both sought costs and attorneys’ fees. The trial court awarded costs to Downey but denied its attorneys’ fees; it denied both to McLarand. On appeal McLarand contends it, too, was a prevailing party at trial and is entitled to costs and attorneys’ fees. Downey separately appeals, contending the trial court abused its discretion in denying its attorneys’ fees. We affirm.
