1. If a request for inspection, copying or copies of a public book or record open to inspection and copying is denied, the requester may apply to the district court in the county in which the book or record is located for an order:
(a) Permitting the requester to inspect or copy the book or record; or
(b) Requiring the person who has legal custody or control of the public book or record to provide a copy to the requester,
↪ as § 2. The court shall give this matter priority over other civil matters to which priority is not given by other statutes. If the requester prevails, the requester is entitled to recover his or her costs and reasonable attorney’s fees in the proceeding from the governmental entity whose officer has custody of the book or record.
