California Court of Appeal

Defendants' motion to dismiss plaintiff's appeal of the trial court's award of cost and attorney's fees against her, following the unsuccessful arbitration of her employment discrimination claim, is denied, where: 1) the trial court's authority to impose costs and attorney's fees was not actually litigated in plaintiff's bankruptcy court proceeding; and 2) the confirmed chapter 13 plan does not preclude plaintiff's appeal challenging the trial court's cost and attorney fees award.
