California Laws|Section 405.38.

                                                

405.38.  

The court shall direct that the party prevailing on any motion under this chapter be awarded the reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of making or opposing the motion unless the court finds that the other party acted with substantial justification or that other circumstances make the imposition of attorney’s fees and costs unjust.

(Added by Stats. 1992, Ch. 883, Sec. 2. Effective January 1, 1993.)

Because section 405.38 does not define prevailing party or expressly authorize or bar recovery of attorney fees in the event the lis pendens is withdrawn before a ruling on a motion, we adopt the practical approach to determine whether the moving party is the prevailing party under section 405.38 by analyzing the extent to which each party has realized its litigation objectives.
