What is the standard of review of fees awarded by the Court of Appeal?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Kennedy v. Morin, B254871 (Cal. App. 2015):
" '[W]ith respect to the amount of fees awarded, there is no question our review must be highly deferential to the views of the trial court.' [Citations.]" (Concepcion v. Amscan Holdings, Inc. (2014) 223 Cal.App.4th 1309, 1319 (Concepcion).) On the record presented, we perceive no manifest abuse of discretion with respect to the amount of the award, and thus we affirm the trial court's order.
