1. If the Attorney General, a designee of
the Attorney General pursuant to NRS 357.070 or a private plaintiff prevails in or settles an action pursuant to NRS 357.080 , the private plaintiff is
entitled to a reasonable amount for expenses that the court finds were
necessarily incurred, including reasonable costs, attorneys fees and the fees
of expert consultants and expert witnesses. Those expenses must be awarded
against the defendant, and may not be allowed against the State or a political
subdivision.
2. If the Attorney General or the Attorney
Generals designee does not proceed with the action and the defendant prevails
in the action brought by a private plaintiff, the court may award the defendant
reasonable expenses and attorneys fees against the party or parties who
participated in the action if it finds that the action was clearly frivolous,
clearly vexatious or brought primarily for the purposes of harassment.
