(a) This Code is intended to provide for the just determination of every proceeding for violation of City ordinances. Its provisions shall be construed to secure simplicity in procedure, fairness in administration and the elimination of unjustifiable expense and delay. If no procedure is provided by this Code, the court shall proceed in any lawful manner consistent with any applicable law and not inconsistent with this Code.

(b) A legal entity is responsible for acts committed by its agents when acting within the scope of the agent’s authority.

(c) A person who violates an ordinance, or causes such acts to be performed, in the name of or on behalf of a legal entity is legally responsible to the same extent as if such acts were performed in the person’s own name or on the person’s behalf. (Ord. 20383 § 1, 11-1-22. Formerly 2.110.040.)
