1298 If a party rejects an offer of compromise and then receives a judgment less favorable at trial, the trial court has discretion to award attorney fees to the other party; but if after judicial arbitration the party who rejected the offer requests trial de novo and it results in a judgment less favorable than the offer of compromise and the arbitration award, the trial court is required to award attorney fees to the other party.CitationBHULLAR v TAYYAB (May vs Shall) 46 CA4 582 [See: CCP 998, 1021.1, 1141.21; Morin v ABA 195 CA3 200]
