I think the key word is "fine". I would check case law on what classifies it as a fine.

Subject: [cdcbaa] Dischargeability of SLAPP fee awards
Are fees awarded against a debtor pursuant to SLAPP dischargeable? I have a PNC that received a judgment to pay attorneys fees of her employer (a government entity) as a result of the SLAPP statute. I just wonder if this falls under 523(a)(7) as a fine owed to or for the benefit of a governmental unit.
