Other Supreme Court cases in the section 1717 area have had no occasion to parse the “prevailing party” provision of section 1717 in the context of how much a litigant must win before the litigant can recover fees under section 1717 (either as a matter of discretion or by right). Santisas v. Goodin (1998) 17 Cal.4th 599 [71 Cal.Rptr.2d 830, 951 P.2d 399] explores the situation when there is a voluntary pretrial dismissal and tort or other noncontract claims, PLCM Group, Inc. v. Drexler (2000) 22 Cal.4th 1084 [95 Cal.Rptr.2d 198, 997 P.2d 511] and Trope v. Katz (1995) 11 Cal.4th 274 [45 Cal.Rptr.2d 241, 902 P.2d 259] involved, respectively, in-house counsel and attorneys representing themselves.
