California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Ctr. For Biological Diversity v. County Of San Bernardino, D056972, No. SCVSS 133424 (Cal. App. 2010):
California (9th Cir. 1973) 474 F.2d 549, 552.)7 Further, when, as here, the fee order under review was rendered by a judge other than the trial judge, we may exercise "somewhat more latitude in determining whether there has been an abuse of discretion than would be true in the usual case." (Perkins v. Standard Oil Co. of California, supra, 474 F.2d at p. 552.)
