What additional costs may a defendant be ordered to pay if the board prevails in court?

Fines and penalties
Reasonable attorney's fees and costs
Interest on the penalty amount
Investigative expenses

The correct answer is: Reasonable attorney's fees and costs

If the board prevails in court, the defendant may be ordered to pay reasonable attorney's fees and costs as a part of the legal expenses incurred during the proceedings. This is rooted in the principle of promoting fair legal representation and compensating the prevailing party for expenses that arise specifically due to the legal action taken against the defendant. By requiring the losing party to cover these costs, it discourages frivolous litigation and supports the enforcement of regulatory compliance. Attorney's fees can be significant, and this provision is designed to ensure that the financial burden of the legal process does not fall solely on the entity pursuing the action. The other options, while they represent types of financial implications related to legal violations, do not specifically align with the common practice of awarding costs to the prevailing party in civil litigation.
