We direct the Court of Appeals to particularly consider the language of MCL 15.271(4) that awards attorney fees "[i]f a public body is not complying with this act, and a person commences a civil action to compel or enjoin further noncompliance with the act and succeeds in obtaining relief in the action . . . ."
