Can a reversal of a judgment result in the reversal of the award of attorney fees and costs?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Burkett v. Caffaro, B222566 (Cal. App. 2011):

Appellant contends that reversal of the judgment must as a matter of law result in the reversal of the award of attorney fees and costs but makes no argument that the trial court abused its discretion in finding the awards were reasonable. "When an appellant fails to raise a point, or asserts it but fails to support it with reasoned argument and citations to authority, we treat the point as waived. [Citations.]" (Badie v. Bank of America (1998) 67 Cal.App.4th 779, 784-785.)
