What is the test for appeal against an order granting attorney fees?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Patterson Frozen Foods, Inc. v. Cal. Valley Land Co., H047357, H047368 (Cal. App. 2020):

We also apply the normal rules of appellate review to an order granting attorney fees: "[T]he order is presumed correct, all intendments and presumptions are indulged to support the order, conflicts in the evidence are resolved in favor of the prevailing party, and the trial court's resolution of factual disputes is conclusive." (Apex, supra, 222 Cal.App.4th at p. 1017.) " 'Fees approved by the trial court are presumed to be reasonable, and the objectors must show error in the award.' " (Laffitte v. Robert Half Internat., Inc. (2016) 1 Cal. 5th 480, 488.)
