Legal Question in Business Law in California

Re: Recovering court costs and attorney fees

It depends upon what grounds the case was dismissed. If the court found that the complaint was frivolous and was brought wrongfully, your corporation might file another lawsuit -- this one for malicious prosecution -- and recover consequential damages if you prevail. Typically, California law does not permit recovery of attorney's fees except by contract or statute.

Re: Recovering court costs and attorney fees

It really depends upon how the dismissal occurred. For example, if the dismissal was as a result of a Anti-SLAPP motion, then yes, you would be entitled to fees (if timely sought).
