A contractor sues a local government to recover amounts due under the Local Government Prompt Payment Act and wins. What does the court award beyond the amount due?
Correct Answer
D) Court costs and reasonable attorney's fees, including on appeal
Section 218.76(3) directs that in an action to recover amounts due under this part the court shall award court costs and reasonable attorney's fees, including fees incurred through appeal, to the prevailing party. The provision runs both ways, so a contractor who loses may owe the entity's fees.
