Section 460-H. Enforcement  


Latest version.
  • Upon  any  violation  of  this  article,  an
      application may be made by the attorney  general  in  the  name  of  the
      people  of  the  state  to  a  court  having  jurisdiction  to  issue an
      injunction, and upon notice to the respondent of  not  fewer  than  five
      days,  to  enjoin  and  restrain the continuance of the violation. If it
      shall appear to the satisfaction  of  the  court  or  justice  that  the
      defendant  has,  in  fact,  violated  this article, an injunction may be
      issued by such court or justice, enjoining and restraining  any  further
      violation,  without  requiring  proof that any person has, in fact, been
      injured or damaged thereby. In any such proceeding, the court  may  make
      allowances  to  the  attorney  general  as  provided in paragraph six of
      subdivision (a) of section  eighty-three  hundred  three  of  the  civil
      practice law and rules, and direct restitution. Whenever the court shall
      determine  that  a violation of this article has occurred, the court may
      impose a civil penalty of not more  than  seven  thousand  five  hundred
      dollars for each violation.
