§451A-17 - Injunctive relief.
§451A-17 Injunctive relief. The
director may apply for an injunction in any court of competent jurisdiction to
enjoin any person who has not been issued a license or whose license has been
suspended or revoked or has expired from practicing in the dealing and fitting
of hearing aids; and, upon the filing of a verified petition in the court, the
court or any judge thereof, if satisfied by affidavit or otherwise, may issue a
temporary injunction, without notice or bond, enjoining the defendant from
further practicing in the dealing and fitting of hearing aids. A copy of the
verified complaint shall be served upon the defendant and the proceedings shall
thereafter be conducted as in other civil cases. If it is established that the
defendant has been or is practicing dealing and fitting of hearing aids without
having been issued a license or after the license has been suspended or revoked
or has expired, the court or any judge thereof may enter a decree enjoining the
defendant from further practicing in the dealing and fitting of hearing aids.
In case of violation of any injunction issued under this section, the court may
summarily try and punish the offender for contempt of court. The injunction
proceeding shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of all penalties and other
remedies provided in this chapter. [L 1969, c 205, pt of §1; am L 1997, c 88,
