Attorneys' Fees
In an action to enforce the governing documents, the prevailing party shall be awarded reasonable attorney's fees and costs. Civil Code §1354(c). However, attorneys' fee awards are uncertain and usually less than the amount sought by the prevailing party.

In an enforcement action in which fees and costs may be awarded pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 1354, the court, in determining the amount of the award, may consider whether a party's refusal to participate in alternative dispute resolution before commencement of the action was reasonable.
