California Court of Appeal
Northwest Energetic Servs., LLC v. Cal. Franchise Tax Bd., A114805
Judgment awarding plaintiff a refund of amounts paid under Revenue and Taxation Code section 17942 is affirmed as former section 17942, as applied to plaintiff, violated the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution and plaintiff is entitled to a refund. Trial court's order does not support an award attorney's fees to plaintiff greater than the lodestar.
