{"data":{"id":"us/49-u.s.c.-46305","jurisdiction":"us","citation":"49 U.S.C. § 46305","heading":"Actions to recover civil penalties","body":"A civil penalty under this chapter may be collected by bringing a civil action against the person subject to the penalty, a civil action in rem against an aircraft subject to a lien for a penalty, or both. The action shall conform as nearly as practicable to a civil action in admiralty, regardless of the place an aircraft in a civil action in rem is seized. However, a party may demand a jury trial of an issue of fact in an action involving a civil penalty under this chapter (except a penalty imposed by the Secretary of Transportation that formerly was imposed by the Civil Aeronautics Board) if the value of the matter in controversy is more than $20. Issues of fact tried by a jury may be reexamined only under common law rules.","path":["Title 49—TRANSPORTATION","CHAPTER 463—PENALTIES"],"source_url":"https://uscode.house.gov/download/releasepoints/us/pl/119/103/xml_usc49@119-103.zip","current_through":"Public Law 119-103 (09/02/2026)","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-10T06:01:06Z","sha256":"f454543621fb4e44cf4fdc4dfed99dfe1b351aa7de4a91906f9fc29c3b9a1858","source_id":"us","stale":false,"prev":"us/49-u.s.c.-46304","next":"us/49-u.s.c.-46306"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
