Section 31.21. Injunction and temporary restraining order

(a)  The  supreme court may enjoin violations or threatened violations
  of any provision of this article or violations of the regulations of the
  department established pursuant to this article.  Upon  request  of  the
  commissioner,  the  attorney  general  may  maintain a proceeding in the
  supreme court in the name of the people of the state to enjoin any  such
  violation,   provided  that  notice  of  such  violation  or  threatened
  violation and proposed referral to the attorney general has  been  given
  to  the  violator by mailing notice thereof to the last known address of
  the violator by registered mail.
    (b) If the proceeding is for the enforcement of  a  cease  and  desist
  order  issued  after  notice  and  hearing pursuant to the provisions of
  section 31.19 of this article, the facts found by the commissioner shall
  be conclusive if supported by substantial evidence.
    (c) Notwithstanding any limitation  in  the  civil  practice  law  and
  rules, such court may, on motion and affidavit, and upon proof that such
  violation  is  one  which reasonably may result in injury to any person,
  whether or not such person is a party to such action, grant a  temporary
  restraining   order  upon  such  terms  as  may  be  just,  pending  the
  determination of the proceeding. No security on the part  of  the  state
  shall be required.
