p0499 REVIEW DENIED A trial court has discretion to deny an award of attorney fees to a plaintiff who was successful in an action under the Brown Act, but only if there are special circumstances that would make such an award unjust; the mere fact that the plaintiff is a major metropolitan newspaper with substantial resources does not justify a denial of fees.CitationLA TIMES v LA COUNTY BD OF SUPEs (Brown Act Fees) 112 CA4 1313 [See: GovC 54950 etseq; CCP 1021.5; Common Cause v Stirling 119 CA3 658; Common Cause v Stirling 147 CA3 518]
