Section 12-5-101. Injunctive relief

   Whenever, in the judgment of the director, any person has engaged in or is about to engage in any act or practice which constitutes or will constitute any violation of this part, the director may make application to the superior court of the county where such person resides, or if the person is a nonresident of this state, then to the superior court of the county where such person is engaged in or is about to engage in any such act or practice, for an order enjoining and restraining such act or practice, and, upon a showing by the director that such person has engaged in or is about to engage in any such act or practice, a permanent or temporary injunction, restraining order, or other order shall be granted without the necessity of showing a lack of adequate remedy at law.
