Is a final judgment an appealable final judgment if it does not address postjudgment matters?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from La Jolla Benefits Ass'n v. City of San Diego, D075191 (Cal. App. 2020):

Collective v. Superior Court (2010) 51 Cal.4th 1, 5) is an appealable final judgment. The fact that a ruling does not address postjudgment matters, does not demonstrate that the ruling is not an appealable final judgment. Indeed, as noted previously (see fn. 10, ante), the Laraway court stated that the fact that the August 2000 order / judgment in that case had not awarded attorney fees or costs was irrelevant in determining whether the August 2000 order / judgment was appealable, since such attorney fees and costs are commonly addressed by way of postjudgment proceedings. (Laraway, supra, at p. 582, fn. 3.)
