(a) Violations; relief recoverable
A purchaser or lessee may bring an action at law or in equity
against a developer or agent if the sale or lease was made in
violation of section 1703(a) of this title. In a suit authorized by
this subsection, the court may order damages, specific performance,
or such other relief as the court deems fair, just, and equitable.
In determining such relief the court may take into account, but not
be limited to, the following factors: the contract price of the lot
or leasehold; the amount the purchaser or lessee actually paid; the
cost of any improvements to the lot; the fair market value of the
lot or leasehold at the time relief is determined; and the fair
market value of the lot or leasehold at the time such lot was
purchased or leased.
(b) Enforcement of rights by purchaser or lessee
A purchaser or lessee may bring an action at law or in equity
against the seller or lessor (or successor thereof) to enforce any
right under subsection (b), (c), (d), or (e) of section 1703 of
this title.
(c) Amounts recoverable
The amount recoverable in a suit authorized by this section may
include, in addition to matters specified in subsections (a) and
(b) of this section, interest, court costs, and reasonable amounts
for attorneys' fees, independent appraisers' fees, and travel to
and from the lot.
(d) Contributions
Every person who becomes liable to make any payment under this
section may recover contribution as in cases of contract from any
person who, if sued separately, would have been liable to make the
same payment.
