(California Court of Appeal) - In an appeal from a judgment awarding plaintiff attorney fees and costs for successfully settling her claims under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act,Civ. Code section 1790 et seq., and other consumer protection statutes, and the judgment is affirmed over defendants' unpersuasive contentions that: 1) plaintiff is not entitled to any attorney fees or costs because BMW San Diego offered an appropriate remedy before plaintiff filed her complaint,which plaintiff unreasonably refused to accept; and in the alternative 2) the fee award should be reduced because there is inadequate evidence to show plaintiff's counsel's hours worked and hourly rate were fair given the litigation's lack of risk and complexity.
