7:11-1 Applicability of Rule

This rule governs the collection or enforcement of a penalty prescribed by a statute or ordinance that confers jurisdiction on the municipal courts to entertain such actions by way of a summary civil proceeding. The municipal courts may not, however, entertain such actions if the statute requires collection or enforcement by a plenary action. Proceedings for the confiscation or forfeiture of chattels shall conform, as much as possible, with the provisions of R. 7:11.
