1Opinion of the Court
*806BRODERICK, C.J.
The petitioner, Alan Hardy, appeals a decision of the New Hampshire Department of Labor (DOL) that it did not have statutory authority to award him attorney’s fees and expenses for his successful Whistleblowers’ Protection Act claim, see RSA chapter 275-E (1999 & Supp. 2006). The respondent, the Hopkinton State Fair Association (Association), cross-appeals the DOL’s ruling that Hardy met his initial burden of persuasion on the merits of his claim. We dismiss the Association’s cross-appeal, reverse the DOL’s ruling on attorney’s fees and remand.
