8. (1) Whenever, by law or under a municipal by-law, any person is authorized to sue for the recovery of any fine or penalty before the civil courts, he may recover the same in his own name, in the same manner as an ordinary debt of like amount, even if the fine wholly or partly reverts to the Crown or to a municipal corporation.
(2) No affidavit shall be required from the plaintiff or any other person before such suit is taken.
