TITLE 2 AGRICULTURE

Section 8. Agricultural Commodities Promotion, 2-8-1 through 2-8-135.

ARTICLE 3 AGRICULTURAL COMMODITY COMMISSION FOR PEANUTS

2-8-73. Action by Attorney General for civil penalties or injunctive relief; remedies court may impose; payment of costs.

  1. The Attorney General of this state shall, upon complaint by the commission, or may, upon his own initiative if after examination of the complaint and evidence he believes a violation has occurred, bring an action in the superior court in the name of the commission for civil penalties or for injunctive relief, including specific performance of any obligation imposed by a marketing order or any rule or regulation issued under this article, or both, against any person violating any provisions of this article or of any marketing order or any rule or regulation duly issued by the commission under this article.
  2. If it appears to the court, upon any application for a temporary restraining order, upon the hearing of any order to show cause why a preliminary injunction should not be issued, or upon the hearing of any motion for a preliminary injunction, or if the court finds in any such action that any defendant therein is violating or has violated any provision of this article or of any marketing order or any rule or regulation duly issued by the commission under this article, then the court shall enjoin the defendant from committing further violations and may compel specific performance of any obligation imposed by a marketing order or any rule or regulation issued by the commission under this article. It shall not be necessary in such event to allege or prove lack of an adequate remedy at law.
  3. In any action brought by the Attorney General to enforce any of the provisions of this article or of any marketing order issued by the commission and effective under this article or of any rule or regulation issued by the commission pursuant to any marketing order, the judgment, if in favor of the commission, may provide that the defendant pay to the commission the costs incurred by the commission in the prosecution of such action.
