Title 2 - John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act of New York
17-218 - Attorneys' Fees.

§ 17-218. Attorneys' fees. In any action to enforce any provision of
this title, the court shall allow the prevailing plaintiff party, other
than the state or political subdivision thereof, a reasonable attorneys'
fee, litigation expenses including, but not limited to, expert witness
fees and expenses as part of the costs. A plaintiff will be deemed to
have prevailed when, as a result of litigation, the defendant party
yields much or all of the relief sought in the suit. Prevailing
defendant parties shall not recover any costs, unless the court finds
the action to be frivolous, unreasonable, or without foundation.
