§ 12:7a-25.

a. If any person violates any of the provisions of this act or any rule, regulation

or order adopted or issued pursuant to the provisions of this act, the director may

institute a civil action in a court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief

to enforce said provisions and to prohibit and prevent that violation and the court

may proceed in the action in a summary manner. Any person who violates the provisions of this act or any rule, regulation or order

adopted or issued pursuant to this act shall be liable to a civil administrative penalty

of not more than $5,000.00 for each offense, to be imposed by the director pursuant

to standards adopted in regulations; or a civil penalty of not more than $5,000.00

for each offense, to be collected in a civil action by a summary proceeding under

“the penalty enforcement law,” N.J.S. 2A:58-1 et seq. , or in any case before a court of competent jurisdiction wherein injunctive relief

has been requested. b. The Superior Court and the municipal courts shall have the jurisdiction to enforce the provisions of this act. If the violation is of a continuing nature, each day during which it continues shall

constitute an additional, separate and distinct offense. The director is authorized to compromise and settle any claim for a penalty under

this section in such amount in the discretion of the director as may appear appropriate

and equitable under all of the circumstances. c. (Deleted by amendment, P.L.1987, c. 138.)
