(A) It is a violation of this chapter for any party to engage in frivolous conduct or to aid, abet, incite, compel or coerce another to do so. “FRIVOLOUS CONDUCT” means conduct that serves to harass or maliciously injure another party, such as, but not limited to, filing a false or misleading claim or defense; or in filing or in assisting in the filing of a complaint or asserting a defense that is not warranted under existing law and for which the complaint, claims, charges and defenses cannot be supported by a good faith argument for an extension, modification or reversal of existing law.
(B) Upon a finding by the Versailles-Midway-Woodford County Human Rights Commission or court of law that frivolous conduct has occurred, the Versailles-Midway-Woodford County Human Rights Commission or court of law may award reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred by the City of Versailles and the non-violating party against the party who engaged in such frivolous conduct.
