If the county surveyor fails to timely file the record of survey with the county recorder in accordance with Section 8768, the licensed land surveyor or registered civil engineer submitting the map may bring an action pursuant to Section 1085 of the Code of Civil Procedure to compel the filing of the record of survey. After the licensed land surveyor or registered civil engineer resubmits and requests the record of survey be filed without further change, the filing of the record of survey shall be deemed to be a ministerial act.
In any action brought pursuant to Section 1085 of the Code of Civil Procedure between a licensed land surveyor or a registered civil engineer and the county surveyor of any county, the court may award to the prevailing party costs and other expenses of litigation, including the payment of experts and other witnesses, and reasonable attorney’s fees.
