Coast Air Conditioning etc. v. Cal. Dept. of Corre
Plaintiff West Coast Air Conditioning Company, Inc. (West Coast) appeals the court's October 26, 2016 postjudgment order denying West Coast's request for attorney fees under the "private attorney general" theory codified in Code of Civil Procedure section 1021.5. West Coast contends the court erred in refusing to award it reasonable attorney fees after West Coast (1) successfully challenged by ordinary writ of mandate
(§ 1085, subd. (a)) the award of a public works contract by defendant California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) to real party in interest Hensel Phelps Construction Co. (HP), and (2) obtained a permanent injunction preventing HP from performing any additional work under that misawarded contract.
