48-249-1114. Assessment of proceeding costs.

(a)  Determination and assessment.  In a fair value proceeding commenced under § 48-249-1113, the court shall determine all costs of the proceeding, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of appraisers appointed by the court, and the court shall assess the costs against the PLLC. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (a), the court may assess those costs in an amount the court determines to be equitable against the person who is entitled to receive payment in respect of the membership interest or financial rights under § 48-249-1111(a), if the court determines that such person acted arbitrarily, vexatiously or not in good faith in refusing to accept the PLLC's offer.

(b)  Other fees and expenses.  The court may also:

     (1)  Assess the fees and expenses of counsel and experts for the person who is entitled to receive payment in respect of the membership interest or financial rights under § 48-249-1111(a) against the PLLC, and in favor of such person, if the court determines that the fair value of the membership interest or financial rights substantially exceeded the amount offered by the PLLC or that the PLLC did not make an offer; or

     (2)  Assess the fees and expenses of counsel and experts for the PLLC against the person who is entitled to receive payment in respect of the membership interest or financial rights under § 48-249-1111(a), and in favor of the PLLC, if the court finds that the fair value of the membership interest or financial rights did not substantially exceed the amount offered by the PLLC.
