The Fourth Appellate District affirmed a trial court order. In the published portion of its opinion, the court held that a prevailing party’s recoverable costs, following the opposing party’s rejection of an offer to compromise, included not only the deposition fees paid to the party’s own expert witnesses, but also the fees paid to the opposing party’s experts.
Sally Chaaban sued employer Wet Seal, Inc. for wrongful termination. Prior to trial, Wet Seal made an offer to compromise pursuant to Code Civ. Proc. §998. Chaaban rejected the offer.
