P1481 REVIEW DENIED If a plaintiff voluntarily dismisses an action arising from a contract calling for attorney fees to the prevailing party, defendant is not entitled to attorney fees because Civil Code section 1717 provides that when such a case is voluntarily dismissed there is no prevailing party for purposes of an attorney fee award; an offer to compromise under CCP 998 may be revoked at any time before acceptance, but if it is revoked prior to expiration of the statutory 30 day period, section 998 no longer applies to it.CitationMARINA GLENCOE v NEUE SENTIMENTAL (Prevailing Party) 168 CA4 874 [See: CivC 1717; CCP 998; Topanga v Toghia 103 CA4 775, P/AT 1/03; Marcey v Romero 148 CA4 1211, P/AT 5/07]
