56-1a554. Expenses. If a derivative action is successful, in whole or in part, or if anything is received by the plaintiff as a result of a judgment, compromise or settlement of a derivative action, the court may award the plaintiff reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorney fees. If anything is so received by the plaintiff, the court shall make any award of plaintiff's expenses payable out of those proceeds and direct plaintiff to remit to the limited partnership the remainder. If those proceeds are insufficient to reimburse plaintiff's reasonable expenses, the court may direct that any award of plaintiff's expenses, or a portion of the award, be paid by the limited partnership.
