Description

This is an appeal from a postjudgment order of the superior court granting a prevailing defendant's motion for contractual and statutory attorney fees, expert fees and costs in the total amount of $6,878,686.94. Plaintiff individuals Steve Carver and 22 other Chevron dealers (Dealers) filed this action against Chevron U.S.A., Inc. (Chevron) and several of its management employees *fn1 for damages for breach of contract (lease provisions), fraud and alleged violations of California's antitrust laws (Bus. & Prof. Code, *fn2 § 16720, hereinafter the Cartwright Act). Dealers won a jury verdict awarding damages on some of their theories, but the judgment was reversed on appeal by this court with directions to enter judgment in favor of Chevron. (Carver v. Chevron (May 28, 1999, D025937) [nonpub. opn.] (our prior opinion).) On remand, Chevron obtained an award of attorney fees and costs against Dealers under the lease's attorney fees clause, in conjunction with section 16750, the attorney fees provision of the Cartwright Act, and Code of Civil Procedure section 998, allowing an award of expert fees and costs. Chevron was deemed the prevailing party in the action as a whole. (Code Civ. Proc., § 1032.)
