California Court of Appeal

In contract dispute, the trial court's denial of attorney fees for obtaining a dismissal of the case in California based on a Florida forum-selection clause, is affirmed where when defendant obtains an interim procedural victory that results only in a relocation of an active contract dispute from one forum to another, there has been no final resolution of the contract claims and therefore it would be premature to make a prevailing party determination at such juncture.
