P0752 California's reciprocal attorney fee rule, requiring a contract calling for the award of attorney fees to one party successful in litigation arising from it to be read as calling for the same benefit to all parties, is a matter of fundamental public policy and should be applied in a California lawsuit on a contract signed and accepted in California, but containing a clause choosing the law of New York, which does not have such a policy.CitationABF CAPITAL v GROVE PROPERTIES (Reciprocal Fees) 126 CA4 204 [See: CivC 1717; Janzen v WCAB 61 CA4 109; Nedlloyd v Superior Court 3 C4 459, T/AT 11/92; PLCM v Drexler 22 C4 1084, T/AT 6/00]
