12989.1, if the court finds that a discriminatory housing practice
has occurred or is about to occur, the court may award the plaintiff
or complainant actual and punitive damages and may grant other
relief, including the issuance of a temporary or permanent
injunction, or temporary restraining order, or other order, as it
deems appropriate to prevent any defendant from engaging in or
continuing to engage in an unlawful practice. The court may, at its
discretion, award the prevailing party, other than the state,
reasonable attorney's fees and costs, including expert witness fees,
against any party other than the state.
