Change of name (minor)
Regarding punitive damages, the Court’s ruling sustaining the demurrer to the fraud cause of action necessarily requires striking the punitive damages allegations. There are no facts supporting malice or oppression. As to attorney fees, it is well settled that attorney fees may be obtained only through written contract or based on statute. The opposition does not address the fact that there is no attorney fee provision included in the contract. As such the complaint fails to allege a legal basis supporting an award of attorney fees. To the extent leave to amend is granted, Plaintiffs, if they so choose, shall amend within 20 days’ notice of this order. If Plaintiffs elect not to amend, Defendants shall file an answer within 20 days thereafter. Defendants shall prepare and submit a form of order consistent with this ruling within two weeks.
