California Court of Appeal

Denial of a contract-based award of attorney fees following the confirmation of an arbitration award is reversed and remanded for further proceedings, where: 1) a party seeking attorney fees pursuant to Civil Code section 1717 need not, in addition to filing a noticed motion, file a memorandum of costs; and 2) the trial court improperly denied the attorney fees award on grounds that defendant filed no memorandum of costs in seeking the award.
