Oak Hill Park v. City of Antioch CA1/4
Plaintiff Oak Hill Park Company (Oak Hill) appeals an order awarding real party in interest Let Antioch Voters Decide (LAVD) $66,725 in attorney fees pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 1021.5 based on LAVD’s opposition to Oak Park’s pre-election challenge to a local ballot initiative. Oak Hill contends that the court abused its discretion in awarding attorney fees to LAVD because, among other reasons, LAVD did not enforce an important right affecting the public interest. Oak Hill’s request for a restraining order was denied based solely on a declaration submitted by the Contra Costa County Registrar of Voters (county registrar) for the City of Antioch (the city) establishing that removal of the initiative from the ballot at that late date would interfere with the election process.
