§88A-22. Enjoining illegal practices

(a)        If the Board finds that any person is violating any of the provisions of this Chapter, it may apply in its own name to the superior court for an injunction or restraining order to prevent that person from further violation.  The court is empowered to grant an injunction regardless of whether any other enforcement action has been or may be instituted.  All actions by the Board shall be governed by the North Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure.

(b)        The venue for actions brought under this Chapter shall be the superior court in the county where the illegal or unlawful acts are alleged to have been committed, in the county where the defendant resides, or in the county where the Board maintains its offices and records.
