Fees Request Treated As “Hot Potato” By Arbitrator And Judge.

     A nice post dated October 20, 2016 in California Attorney’s Fees summarizes the convoluted procedure in Miceli v. Staples, Inc., Case No D070676 (4th Dist., Div. 1 Oct. 20, 2016) (unpublished), describing the case as one “where the arbitrator and court tossed an attorney’s fees request like a ‘hot potato.’”  Unfortunately for the respondent who was claiming fees, the “hot potato” was dropped, and the respondent never recovered fees.
