§481-10  Actions to enjoin violation. 
Any person, firm, private corporation, or municipal or other public
corporation, or trade association, may maintain an action to enjoin a
continuance of any act or acts in violation of sections 481-1 to 481-7 and, if
injured thereby, for the recovery of damages.  If, in the action, the court
finds that the defendant is violating or has violated any of the provisions of
sections 481-1 to 481-7, it shall enjoin the defendant from a continuance
thereof.  It shall not be necessary that actual damages to the plaintiff be
alleged or proved.  In addition to such injunctive relief, the plaintiff shall
be entitled to recover from the defendant three times the amount of any actual
damages sustained.



Any defendant in an action brought under this
section may be compelled to testify by deposition under chapter 624, or in
person before the court in which the action is brought, and may be examined by
the plaintiff, as if on cross-examination, and the plaintiff shall not be bound
by the defendant's testimony; and in addition the books and records of any such
defendant may be brought into court and introduced, by reference, into
evidence.



The defendant may in like manner and subject to
like conditions and with like privileges compel the plaintiff to testify by
deposition or otherwise. [L 1937, c 223, §10; RL 1945, §9330; am L 1955, c 241,
