What costs may NCARB claim if it takes legal action due to a breach?

Legal action by NCARB in response to a breach of contract or similar violation typically involves various costs that the organization incurs during the litigation process. When NCARB pursues a legal claim, it is generally entitled to seek recovery for reasonable attorneys' fees, related expenses, and litigation costs. This is because, in many legal frameworks, the prevailing party in a lawsuit can often recover costs associated with enforcing their rights. This is aimed at discouraging breaches and ensuring that entities like NCARB can protect their interests effectively.

In contrast, costs such as refunds of fees paid or compensation for lost profits are not standard claims that an organization would pursue in legal action related to breaches, as they may not directly relate to the costs of enforcing legal rights or maintaining the integrity of the agreement. Additionally, the assertion that they cannot take legal action is incorrect, as NCARB, like many organizations, reserves the right to pursue legal remedies when necessary to uphold its agreements and regulations.
