What are the legal deadlines for filing a motion to claim entitlement to statutory attorney fees or to determine the amount of such fees?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Save Westwood Vill. v. Luskin, B257354 (Cal. App. 2015):

The deadlines for filing a motion to claim entitlement to statutory attorney fees or to determine the amount of such fees may be extended, for good cause, under rule 3.1702(d): "For good cause, the trial judge may extend the time for filing a motion for attorney's fees . . . ." (Rule 3.1702(d).) Rule 3.1702(d) is "'remedial' and is to be given a liberal, rather than strict interpretation. [Citation.]" (Lewow v. Surfside III Condominium Owners Assn., Inc. (2012) 203 Cal.App.4th 128, 135.)
