If defendants are successful in their bid to have attorney fees and costs reversed on the basis that the issue was not given to the jury by the trial court, is this contention abandoned as inadequately briefed?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Ahn v. Yao, B223489 (Cal. App. 2012):
If defendants are claiming that this issue was actually given to the jury and that the trial court erred in reaching it at all, we deem this contention abandoned as inadequately briefed. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.204(a)(1)(B); Hahn v. Diaz-Barba (2011) 194 Cal.App.4th 1177, 1186, fn. 3.) No legal authority is cited whatsoever in this portion of defendants' opening brief.
