Canyon Crest Conservancy v. County of Los Angeles (B290379)
This case raises a question of first impression: whether obtaining an administrative stay order (Code of Civil Procedure section 1094.5(g)) makes one a “successful party” for purposes of seeking private attorney general fees. CSAC argues that because a stay order is not a determination on the merits, any attorneys’ fees must be sought under a catalyst theory. CSAC’s brief was drafted by its Litigation Counsel Jennifer Henning.
