In addition to any other remedies available at law or equity, the Township
may apply any one or a combination of the following remedies in the event
a franchisee materially violates this chapter, its franchise agreement or
applicable state or federal law:
A. Revoke the franchise pursuant to the procedures specified
in this chapter.
B. In addition to or instead of any other remedy, the Township
may seek legal or equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction.
In addition to any other remedy available under this chapter, any person
who shall violate any material provision of this chapter shall, upon conviction
thereof, be sentenced to pay a fine of not more then $250 for each offense,
together with the cost of prosecution, which fine may be collected by suit
or summary proceeding brought in the name of the Township before any District
Justice. Every day that a violation of this chapter continues shall constitute
a separate offense. Franchisee shall be provided with a forty-five-day period
to cure the violation or violations prior to imposition of fines or penalties.
All fines and penalties collected for the violation of this chapter shall
be paid over to the Township treasury. Upon judgment against any person by
summary conviction or by proceedings by summons on default of the payment
of the fine or penalty imposed and the costs, the defendant may be sentenced
and committed to the Township lockup for a period not exceeding five days
or to the county jail or workhouse, for period not exceeding 30 days.
In determining which remedy or remedies are appropriate, the Township
shall take into consideration the nature of the violation, the person or persons
bearing the impact of the violation, the nature of the remedy required in
order to prevent further violations and such other matters as the Township
determines are appropriate to the public interest.
