“Dependency cases are civil in nature. ( In re Christopher B. (1978) 82 Cal. App.3d 608, 614-615 [ 147 Cal. Rptr. 390 ]; Collins v. Superior Court (1977) 74 Cal. App.3d 47 [ 141 Cal. Rptr. 273 ].) [¶] In the case of Chevalier v. Dubin (1980) 104 Cal. App.3d 975 , at page 978 [ 164 Cal. Rptr. 118 ], the court states, `We are aware of no authority, and counsel has cited us none, which would permit a trial or appellate court to grant a retrial to an unsuccessful litigant in a civil case, with or without punitive damages, on the grounds of incompetency of counsel.'”
