Cal. Civ. Code § 407.110
Violation of injunction or restitution order, civil penalty
Operative Text
Any person who violates the terms of an injunction, an order to make restitution, or any other judgment or order issued under section 407.100 shall forfeit and pay to the state a civil penalty of not more than five thousand dollars per violation. For the purposes of this section, the circuit court of a county issuing an injunction or restitutionary order shall retain jurisdiction, and the cause shall be continued, and in such cases the attorney general acting in the name of the state may petition for recovery of civil penalties.
Missouri Revised Statutes § 407.110 establishes that any person who fails to comply with a court-issued injunction, restitution order, or other judgment entered under § 407.100 may be required to forfeit up to $5,000 for each violation. The circuit court that originally issued the order retains ongoing jurisdiction over the matter, meaning the case does not simply close after the initial ruling. The state's attorney general is authorized to petition that court on behalf of the state to recover these civil penalties.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating in Missouri should be aware that § 407.110 attaches significant financial consequences to non-compliance with any court order entered under § 407.100, including injunctions and restitution orders. Operators who have been subject to such orders generally maintain careful records demonstrating ongoing compliance, since each separate act of non-compliance can be treated as a distinct violation carrying its own penalty of up to $5,000. Because the issuing circuit court retains jurisdiction, compliance obligations do not expire when the initial proceeding concludes.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under § 407.110, tenants and other parties who have obtained—or who benefit from—a court order issued under § 407.100 should know that the law provides a mechanism for the attorney general to pursue civil penalties against anyone who violates that order. If a landlord or other party is not honoring an existing injunction or restitution order, that ongoing non-compliance may be reportable to the Missouri Attorney General's office, which has authority to petition the circuit court for enforcement. Tenant-rights organizations can help individuals understand what options exist when a court order is not being followed.
