Poway Royal Mobile Homeowners Assn. v. Poway Redevelopment Agency
Plaintiffs, Poway Royal Mobile Homeowners Association and 273 of its members (collectively the Owners Association), appeal a postjudgment order awarding the defendants, the City of Poway, the City Council of the City of Poway, the City Manager James Bowersox, and the Redevelopment Agency (collectively the City), attorney fees for prevailing on the second amended complaint's claim arising under California's Mobilehome Residency Law (Civ. Code, 798 et seq.). The Owners Association contends the award is excessive because it includes fees incurred (1) in defending against the first amended complaint, which ostensibly did not include any claim based on the Mobilehome Residency Law, and (2) in bringing an unnecessary motion to consolidate. Court agree with the latter point, and reverse the order insofar as it concerns the amount of the award and direct the court to recalculate it. In all other respects, Court affirm the order.
