Where plaintiffs filed mandamus action against city seeking to compel it to investigate an unreported change in ownership of property and reassess it for property tax purposes, which suit was a catalyst to city action resulting in great increase in property tax revenue, but plaintiffs did not prevail in writ action, plaintiffs were not entitled to recover attorney fees where, prior to filing writ action, plaintiffs gave no notice to city of their intent to file suit, did not disclose location of property to city or grounds for finding an ownership change, and did not attempt to settle the matter short of litigation.
