The judge may order a party to comply with the statute, the governing documents, or the contract provision at issue and may impose a civil penalty for each violation, with collected money deposited in the hearing office fund; if the petitioner wins, the judge orders the other party to repay the petitioner's filing fee. The judge's order binds the parties unless a rehearing is granted, is enforceable through contempt of court, and can be appealed through judicial review.
