2005 Connecticut Code - Sec. 19a-351. (Formerly Sec. 19-322). Penalty upon issuance of permanent injunction.
Sec. 19a-351. (Formerly Sec. 19-322). Penalty upon issuance of permanent injunction. Whenever a permanent injunction is issued against any person for maintaining
a nuisance as above provided, or against any owner or agent of any building kept or
used for such purpose, there shall be imposed upon such building and the ground upon
which the same is located and against the person or persons maintaining such nuisance
and the owner or agent of such premises a penalty of not more than three hundred dollars.
The clerk of the court shall make a return of the imposition of any penalty forthwith to
the tax collector of the city or town in which such nuisance is located, who shall enter
the same as a tax upon the property and against the persons upon which or whom the lien
was imposed, and the provisions of the statutes relating to tax liens and the continuance
thereof shall be applicable thereto. The payment of such penalty shall not relieve any
person or property from any other penalties provided by law. The provisions of the
statutes relating to the collection of taxes, nonpayment thereof and sale of property for
taxes shall govern in the collection of the penalty herein prescribed so far as the same
are applicable, and the penalty collected shall be applied in payment of any deficiency
in the costs of the action and the abatement of such nuisance to the extent of any deficiency after the application thereto of the proceeds of the sale of personal property as
above provided, and the remainder of such penalty, with the unexpended portion of the
proceeds of the sale of personal property, shall be disposed of in the same manner as
fines collected for the keeping of houses of ill-fame, except that ten per cent of the
amount of the penalty collected and of the proceeds of the sale of such personal property
shall be paid by the Treasurer to the attorney representing the state in the injunction
proceedings, at the time of final judgment.
History: Sec. 19-322 transferred to Sec. 19a-351 in 1983.
