Savage v. Savage CA1/1
This is an appeal and cross-appeal from an order denying cross-motions for contractual attorney fees and denying a motion to tax costs. The probate court ruled “there was no prevailing party in this action” and denied both motions for fees and denied appellant Colette Savage’s motion to tax. We affirm, but not for the reasons identified by the probate court, which included that it did not set aside the two promissory notes at issue on any of the grounds asserted by Colette, and that defendant Mark Savage could have avoided nearly all fees had he made a competent evidentiary showing at the outset of the proceeding that the two notes in dispute “had in fact been cancelled.”
