aggrieved person in the appropriate Circuit Court seeking relief under this section.

(2)Any aggrieved person with respect to the issues to be determined in a civil action

under this section may intervene as of right in that civil action.

(3)If the court finds that a discriminatory housing practice has occurred or is about to

occur, the court may grant as relief any relief under KRS 344.660 which a court

could grant with respect to a discriminatory housing practice in a civil action under

KRS 344.650. Any relief granted under KRS 344.660 that would accrue to an

aggrieved person in a civil action commenced by that aggrieved person under KRS

344.650 shall also accrue to that aggrieved person in a civil action under this

section. If monetary relief is sought for the benefit of an aggrieved person who does

not intervene in the civil action, the court shall not award relief if that aggrieved

person has not complied with discovery orders entered by the court.
