California Court of Appeal

The trial court's award of private attorney general fees to petitioner, following his successful action setting aside certain conditions defendant had imposed with respect to petitioner's residential permit application, is reversed, where: 1) the issuance of the peremptory writ of mandate did not confer a substantial benefit on either the general public or a large number of persons; and 2) the financial burden of the litigation was not out of proportion to petitioner's individual stake in the matter.
