[Amended 8-4-1982 by Ord. No. 82-8; 12-26-1990 by Ord. No. 90-11]
Any persons, partnership or corporation who
or which has violated or permitted the violation of the provisions
of this chapter shall, upon being found liable therefor in a civil
enforcement proceeding commenced by the Township, pay a judgment of
not more than $500, plus all court costs, including reasonable attorney
fees incurred by the Township as a result thereof. No judgment shall
commence or be imposed, levied or be payable until the date of the
determination of a violation by the District Justice. If the defendant
neither pays nor timely appeals the judgment, the Township may enforce
the judgment pursuant to the applicable rules of civil procedure.
Each day that a violation continues shall constitute a separate violation,
unless the District Justice determining that there has been a violation
further determines that there was a good-faith basis for the person,
partnership or corporation violating this chapter to have believed
that there was no such violation, in which event there shall be deemed
to have been only one such violation until the fifth day following
the date of the determination of a violation by the District Justice,
and thereafter each day that the violation continues shall constitute
a separate violation. All judgments, costs and reasonable attorney
fees collected for the violation of this chapter shall be paid over
to the Township.
[Amended 8-4-1982 by Ord. No. 82-8]
