Twin Rivers Ranch v. Renwood Properties
This malicious prosecution action was based on a cross-complaint for fraud in an underlying action that arose out of the sale of a vineyard by plaintiff to defendant. Sitting without a jury, the trial court decided that the defendants in this action "had probable cause to prosecute the cross-complaint"? and "did not act with malice." In case No. C049904, the judgment is affirmed. Respondents recover their costs on appeal. In case No. C051401, the order denying appellant' motion for attorney fees and costs and the order granting respondent's motion for sanctions are reversed, and the matter is remanded to the trial court for further proceedings on the motion for attorney fees and costs. Appellants shall recover their costs on appeal.
