What is the meaning of a contract where the contract states that the attorney fee provision does not authorize the award of fees incurred during judicial proceedings?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from New England Elec. Wire Corp. v. Cooner Sales Co., B231081 (Cal. App. 2012):

evidence was admitted to interpret the contract. (Kalai v. Gray (2003) 109 Cal.App.4th 768, 777.) NEWC states, "the plain language of the attorney fee provision does not authorize the award of any fees incurred during judicial proceedings." There are two problems with appellants' argument.
