5 Del. C. § 165

Any person who wilfully violates any provision of this subchapter, or any regulation or order issued by the Commissioner pursuant thereto, shall forfeit and pay the civil penalty of not more than $10,000 per day for each day during which such violation continues. The Commissioner shall have authority to assess such a civil penalty, after giving notice and an opportunity to the person to submit data, views and arguments, and after giving due consideration to the appropriateness, the penalty with respect to the size of the financial resources and good faith of the person charged, the gravity of the violation, and any data, views and arguments submitted. The Bank Commissioner may collect such civil penalty by agreement with the person or by bringing an action in the Court of Chancery, except that in any such action, the person against whom the penalty has been assessed shall have a right of trial de novo.
