In EnPalm, LLC v. Teitler (2008) 162 Cal.App.4th 770, the trial judge reduced a $ 50,000 lodestar fee to $ 5,000 upon finding the prevailing party intentionally lied about material matters, and her conduct prevented an early resolution of the case. The court held deducting unnecessary fees from the lodestar was a proper exercise of discretion; it did not rest the decision on the ground there may be a reduction based on the result obtained. Beyond that, the fact that a court may make a reduction on the order of 90 percent does not establish one of that magnitude was warranted here, where there was no finding of how much excessive time was spent on the case.
