[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)]
[Amended 9-26-1989 by Ord. No. 703]
Any person, partnership, or corporation who or which has violated the provisions of this chapter shall, upon being found liable therefor in a civil enforcement proceeding commenced by Borough Council, pay a judgment of not more than $500 plus all court costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Royersford Borough 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 Magisterial District Judge. If the defendant neither pays nor timely appeals the judgment, Royersford Borough 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 Magisterial District Judge determining that there has been a violation further determines that there was a good-faith basis for the person, partnership, or corporation violating the 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. All fines collected for such violations shall be paid to the Borough.
