(3) In determining the amount of the penalty, the
department shall consider the gravity of the violation. The
department may issue a warning in lieu of assessing a
penalty.
(4) In cases of inability to collect the civil penalty
or failure of a person to pay all or a portion of the
penalty, as the department may determine, the department may
refer the matter to the Office of Attorney General, which
shall recover such amount by action in the appropriate court.
§ 10510. Civil remedy.
In addition to any other remedies provided for in this
chapter, the Attorney General, at the request of the department,
may initiate, in the Commonwealth Court or the court of common
pleas of the county in which the defendant resides or has a
place of business, an action in equity for an injunction to
restrain any and all violations of this chapter or the rules
promulgated under this chapter or any order issued or agreement
entered into under this chapter from which no timely appeal has
been taken or which has been sustained on appeal. In a
proceeding, the court shall, upon motion of the Commonwealth,
issue a preliminary injunction if the court finds that the
defendant is engaging in conduct that is unlawful under this
chapter or is engaging in conduct which is causing immediate or
irreparable harm to the public. The Commonwealth shall not be
required to furnish bond or other security in connection with
the proceedings. In addition to an injunction, the court in the
equity proceedings may levy civil penalties under section 2383
(relating to enforcement and penalties).
