York v. Strong
Annotate this CaseKathleen Strong appealed an order that denied her motion for postjudgment attorney fees incurred in enforcing a judgment for fees awarded for her successful defense of a Strategic Litigation Against Public Participation (SLAPP) suit. Strong argued on appeal that she was entitled to such a fee award pursuant to section 685.040, which authorized an award for enforcement of judgments not only where provided for in a contract, but also in cases where such fees are “otherwise provided by law.” The Court of Appeal, after review, agreed: "[b]oth the language of section 685.040 and binding Supreme Court precedent require this result." The order was reversed and the case remanded on Strong’s motion for attorney fees.
