Opinion
McINTYRE, J.
In this case, we conclude the trial court abused its discretion when it decided there was no prevailing party on a contract for purposes of awarding attorney fees under subdivision (b) of Civil Code section 1717 because the record clearly revealed that one party obtained greater relief on the contract in this mixed result case. (All undesignated statutory references are to the Civil Code.) Accordingly, we reverse the order denying attorney fees and remand the matter for further proceedings.
