Does a judge have to provide an adequate explanation to the Court of Appeal to justify not awarding costs for a partial victory?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Padgett v. Loventhal, 706 F.3d 1205 (9th Cir. 2013):
Similarly, we have held that a district court must specify reasons for not awarding costs, Ass'n of MexicanAm. Educators v. State of California, 231 F.3d 572, 591 (9th Cir.2000) (en banc), and the same reasoning applies to reducing costs based on a partial victory. Without an adequate explanation by the district court, an appellate court is unable to determine if the district court abused its discretion. Id. at 59293.
