(1) in the civil action or proceeding in which the expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid, or

(2) to the supreme court in a separate proceeding, in which case the application shall set forth the disposition of any previous application made to any court for the same or similar relief and also reasonable cause for the failure to make application for such relief in the action or proceeding in which the expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid.

(c) Where indemnification is sought by judicial action, the court may allow a person such reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, during the pendency of the litigation as are necessary in connection with his or her defense therein, if the court shall find that the defendant has by his or her pleadings or during the course of the litigation raised genuine issues of fact or law.
