How have the courts treated a claim of error in a jury's decision on fees-as-damages and apportionment?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Sumner Hill Homeowners' Ass'n, Inc. v. Rio Mesa Holdings, LLC, F058617, Super. Ct. No. MCV032689 (Cal. App. 2012):

Moreover, to the extent defendants are attempting to argue that the jury's results with respect to fees-as-damages and apportionment were not supported by the record in this case, defendants have failed to meet their burden of cogently explaining their position with specific citation to the record below. We disregard a claim of error made without meaningful analysis or citation to the record. (Howard v. American National Fire Ins. Co. (2010) 187 Cal.App.4th 498, 534 ["It is not our place to comb the record seeking support for assertions parties fail to substantiate"].)
