Arizona Revised Statutes Title 10. Corporations and Associations § 10-1331. Court costs and attorney fees

A. The court in an appraisal proceeding commenced under § 10-1330 shall determine all costs of the proceeding, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of any master appointed by the court. The court shall assess the costs against the corporation, except that the court shall assess costs against all or some of the dissenters to the extent the court finds that the fair value does not materially exceed the amount offered by the corporation pursuant to §§ 10-1325 and 10-1327 or that the dissenters acted arbitrarily, vexatiously or not in good faith in demanding payment under § 10-1328.

B. The court may also assess the fees and expenses of attorneys and experts for the respective parties in amounts the court finds equitable either:

C. If the court finds that the services of an attorney for any dissenter were of substantial benefit to other dissenters similarly situated and that the fees for those services should not be assessed against the corporation, the court may award to these attorneys reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded the dissenters who were benefitted.
