Synchef v. Najma International
Plaintiff rejected a Code of Civil Procedure section 998 offer to compromise but lost at trial, and the defendants claimed nearly $50,000 in costs. In this appeal from the order denying his motion to tax costs, Synchef argues the defendants were not entitled to recover costs pursuant to section 998 because their settlement offer was made in bad faith and was reasonably rejected. In the alternative, he contends the cost award should be reduced to exclude certain unrecoverable costs. Court affirm the order.
