Tomorrow morning, the Supreme Court will file its opinion in Nickerson v. Stonebridge Life Insurance Company, which was argued on the April calendar. The court limited the issue in the case to whether an award of attorney fees under Brandt v. Superior Court (1985) 37 Cal.3d 813 is properly included as compensatory damages where the fees are awarded by the jury, but excluded from compensatory damages when they are awarded by the trial court after the jury has rendered its verdict.
The opinion can be viewed tomorrow starting at 10:00 a.m.
