Lewow v Surfside III Condominium Owners Assn., Inc. 203 Cal.App.4th 128 (2/6) Lewow sued his HOA and lost, promptly filing BK. BK dismissed five months later. San-Diego-Auto-Accident-lawyer HOA filed for attorney fees within 60 days of BK’s dismissal. Trial court held time tolled by 11 USC § 362 (automatic stay of “commencement or continuation” of a case), granted $292K fees, affirmed on other grounds. [1] § 362 does not apply to time to file an appeal or attorney fee motion (CRC 3.1702). HOA’s fee motion therefore untimely, but . . . [2] Trial court has discretion for good cause to extend time for motion (3.1702(d)), here, excusable mistake of “complex and debatable” issue of law, and affirmed on that ground.
