§ 10-1-8. Dissolution of order to keep closed. (a) The owner or lessor of any place ordered closed pursuant to § 10-1-7 may, at any time, have the order to keep the place closed dissolved upon the payment of all costs incurred and upon the filing of a bond in such sum and with such surety as shall be fixed and approved by the court, conditioned upon the immediate abatement of the nuisance and against any further maintenance thereof, provided the owner or lessor shall prove to the satisfaction of the court that he or she had no knowledge and by the exercise of reasonable diligence could not have learned of the existence of the nuisance before the commencement of the action.
(b) The dissolution of the order to keep the place closed shall not release the place from any judgment, lien, penalty, or liability, to which it may be subject by law. If any person shall break and enter or use a place ordered closed pursuant to § 10-1-7, he or she shall be punished for contempt as provided in § 10-1-10.
