If a case is dismissed in California can the respondent sue for attorney fees?
In California, the prevailing party in a case may be entitled to recover attorney fees under certain circumstances, as specified by statutes or the terms of a contract. However, if a case is dismissed without a decision on the merits, it may be more challenging to recover attorney fees unless there is a specific legal basis for such a claim.

If a case is dismissed can the respondent sue for attorney fees?
That depends on the state the case is in and the nature of the dispute. As an example, in New Jersey, litigants are responsible for paying their own legal fees whether they win or lose except where a statute or court rule specifically permits an award of counsel fees to the prevailing party or if the court finds that the dismissed action was frivolous or maliciously brought. Unless there is a specific law or rule allowing a prevailing party to recover attorney fees, then the party cannot. Other states can and will have different rules, so one must look to the laws of the state where the litigation took place.
