. In lieu of other procedures which are provided in this
article, the director may, if he finds that any person has exceeded
any quota, allotment, or marketable percentage which is fixed for him
pursuant to any marketing order issued by the director pursuant to
this chapter, and if the director further finds that such person did
not intend to violate such quota, allotment, or marketable
percentage, make demand on such person to pay to the director an
amount equal to the market value of the quantity marketed in excess
of such quota, allotment, or percentage.
Such market value shall be only the cost of acquisition to the
person that is concerned and does not include the value of services
or commodities which are added subsequent to acquisition. Payment of
such amount shall preclude any further enforcement action in
connection with such transaction. If such person refuses to pay, or
fails to pay, the amount which is demanded, the director shall
thereupon proceed in accordance with the other provisions of this
article. Any money which is recovered pursuant to this section shall
be deposited in accordance with Section 58937.
