12-1364. Dwelling action; attorney fees, costs
and expert witness fees
In any contested dwelling action, the court shall award the successful party
reasonable attorney fees, reasonable expert witness fees and taxable costs. If the
seller's offer, including any best and final offer, is rejected and the judgment finally
obtained is less than or less favorable to the purchaser than the offer or best and final
offer, the seller is deemed to be the successful party from the date of the offer or best
and final offer. If the judgment finally obtained is more favorable to the purchaser than
the seller's offer or best and final offer, the purchaser is deemed to be the successful
party from the date of the offer or best and final offer. This section shall not be
construed as altering, prohibiting or restricting present or future contracts or statutes
that may provide for attorney fees.
