P1021 A party who is only partially successful in making a SLAPP motion is entitled to attorney fees, unless the results were so insignificant that no practical benefit was derived; generally, time spent on successful and unsuccessful portions of a SLAPP motion are not hopelessly intertwined, and a trial court should award fees only for the time spent on the successful portion.CitationMANN v QUALITY (Partial SLAPP) 139 CA4 328 [See: CCP 425.16; Ketchum v Moses 24 C4 1122, T/AT 4/01; ComputerXpress v Jackson 93 CA4 993, T/AT 12/01; Endres v Moran 135 CA4 952, P/AT 3/06; Mann v Quality 120 CA4 90, T/AT 8/04]
