19.8attorney general may intervene subsequently, upon timely application and good cause
19.9shown. If the attorney general so intervenes, the attorney general subsequently has

19.11    (c) If the attorney general elects at the outset of the action to intervene, the attorney
19.12general has the primary responsibility for prosecuting the action. The person who initially

19.27out of the same facts, whether or not the attorney general participates in the action.
19.28    (b) The court may extend the stay upon a further showing that the attorney general

19.30that the proposed discovery would interfere with its continuation.

20.7measures, limiting the number of witnesses, the length of the testimony of the witnesses,

20.13than ten years after the date on which the violation is committed.
20.14    (b) A finding of guilt in a criminal proceeding charging false statement or fraud,
20.15whether upon a verdict of guilty or a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, stops the person
20.16found guilty from denying an essential element of that offense in an action pursuant to this
20.17chapter based upon the same transaction as the criminal proceeding.
20.18(c) In any action under this chapter, the state and any qui tam plaintiff must prove
20.19all essential elements of the cause of action, including damages, by a preponderance of
20.20the evidence.

20.21    Sec. 24. [15C.12] AWARD OF EXPENSES AND ATTORNEY FEES.

20.23prevails in or settles an action pursuant to this chapter, the court may authorize the person
20.24to recover reasonable costs, reasonable attorney fees, and the reasonable fees of expert
20.25consultants and expert witnesses. Those expenses must be awarded against the defendant,
20.26and may not be allowed against the state or a political subdivision. If the attorney general
20.27does not intervene in the action and the person bringing the action conducts the action, and
20.28if the defendant prevails in the action, the court shall award to the defendant reasonable
20.29expenses and attorney fees against the party or parties who participated in the action if it
20.30finds that the action was clearly frivolous or vexatious or brought solely for harassment.

21.1percent of any recovery in proportion to the person's contribution to the conduct of the
21.2action. If the attorney general does not intervene in the action at the outset, the person is
21.3entitled to receive not less than 25 percent or more than 30 percent of any recovery of
21.4the civil penalty and damages, or settlement, as the court determines to be reasonable.
21.5For recoveries whose distribution is governed by federal code or rule, the basis for
21.6calculating the portion of the recovery the person is entitled to receive shall not include
21.7such amounts reserved for distribution to the federal government or designated in their
21.8use by such federal code or rule.
