Summary

Anyone harmed by a violation of this chapter can sue in court, unless sections 3607 or 3608 limit that right. If someone is harmed by a violation of section 3607 or 3609 and has real losses, the court can award those losses or other fair relief. A person who has to pay under this rule can ask others who should share the blame to contribute. Recoverable amounts may include interest, reasonable lawyers’ fees, fees for independent engineers and appraisers, and court costs. A defendant can get lawyers’ fees back if the court finds the plaintiff’s case frivolous, malicious, or without substantial merit.
