Alaska Statutes Title 38. Public Land § 38.35.180. Suits to enjoin or recover damages for defaults

(a) When in the judgment of the commissioner a person has violated or is about to violate a provision of this chapter or an obligation, condition, or provision of a right-of-way lease, the attorney general, on advice of the commissioner, shall seek a prohibition or mandatory injunction from the superior court to remedy the violation.

(b) A penalty imposed by the provisions of a right-of-way lease issued under this chapter may be enforced in the superior court by proceedings in personam against the lessee carrier, or, in the case of a lien, by proceedings in rem against any of the lessee carrier's property.

(c) Neither this section nor the state's obtaining an injunction or recovering penalties extinguishes any civil cause of action arising out of a violation of this chapter or the provisions of a right-of-way lease.
