In any action brought under this Article, the court may grant as relief:

(1)        A permanent or temporary injunction or other equitable relief as the court deems just;

(2)        Monetary damages to the injured consumer in the amount fixed by the verdict.  Such damages shall be trebled upon a finding that the manufacturer unreasonably refused to comply with G.S. 20-351.2 or G.S. 20-351.3.  The jury may consider as damages all items listed for refund under G.S. 20-351.3;

(3)        A reasonable attorney's fee for the attorney of the prevailing party, payable by the losing party, upon a finding by the court that:

b.         The party instituting the action knew, or should have known, the action was frivolous and malicious. (1987, c. 385.)
