including but not limited to expenses of discovery and document
reproduction.
In addition to injunctive relief authorized, any person who
violates the provisions of this article shall be liable to a
penalty of not more than the greater of a total of one hundred
thousand dollars or five hundred dollars per day for each and
every day of said violation.
