Coastline RE Holdings Corp. v. Brillouet CA2/6
Pierrick Brillouet and Yong Brillouet (the Brillouets) appeal judgment after a court trial in this unlawful detainer action. They separately appeal a postjudgment order awarding attorney’s fees. The court awarded Coastline RE Holdings Corporation (Coastline) possession, $44,760.83 in damages for 10 months of lost rent, and $210,000 in contractual attorney’s fees.
Coastline filed this action as an unlimited civil action, but a superior court clerk mistakenly designated it as limited. The Brillouets contend it is a limited civil action and thus the court exceeded its jurisdiction when it awarded Coastline $44,760.83 in damages for lost rent and heard a motion for attorney’s fees more than 30 days after notice of entry of judgment. They also contend the $210,000 fee award is not authorized by contract and is excessive. We affirm.
