Town of Nottingham v. Diane Newman & a.

Summary

The court affirmed civil penalties imposed against the defendants for maintaining a mobile home in violation of local zoning requirements and the conditions of a building permit. It held that the penalties did not deny access to the courts or due process because the defendants received notice and multiple opportunities to contest both liability and the amount of the penalties. The court also upheld attorney's fees because the defendants' written agreement authorized recovery of the Town's enforcement costs.
