12-993. Precedence of action; resident actions; costs
A. An action that is filed pursuant to section 12-991 or 12-998 has precedence in the trial courts over all actions except juvenile proceedings, criminal proceedings, election contests and hearings on injunctions.
B. If the action is brought by a resident and the court finds that there was no reasonable basis for bringing the action, the court may assess costs and reasonable attorney fees against the resident. If the court determines that reasonable grounds do exist and issues a final judgment in favor of the plaintiff, the court may assess costs and reasonable attorney fees against the defendant.
