Just as Santisas precludes litigants from adopting a definition of "prevailing party" that differs from Civil Code section 1717, we conclude, for the same reasons, that litigants cannot expand the definition of "costs" in section 1717 to include items not permitted under section 1033.5 of the Code of Civil Procedure. It follows that the trial court's award of $9,147 for expert witnesses and other litigation expenses should be stricken.[2]
