P1124 In determining whether a party received a net monetary award and is therefore the prevailing party, reduction for settlement proceeds already received should not be considered; a finding for one of two defendants whose alleged liability is joint and who are jointly represented and present a unified defense does not make that defendant a prevailing party if the other is found to be liable.CitationWAKEFIELD v BOHLIN (Prevailing Party) 145 CA4 963 [See: CCP 1032; Textron v Nat'l Union 118 CA4 1061, T/AT 6/04]
