(2) The good or bad faith of the person or entity in violation.
(3) The history of prior violations, if any.
(4) Evidence that the violation was willful.
(5) The extent that the person or entity has cooperated with the department.
(b) In addition to the remedies provided in this chapter, the Attorney General may bring an action in superior court on behalf of the department, and the court shall have jurisdiction upon hearing and for cause shown, to grant a temporary or permanent injunction restraining any person or entity from violating any provision of this chapter. Any proceeding under this section shall conform to the requirements of Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 525) of Title 7 of Part 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure, except that the department shall not be required to allege facts necessary to show or tending to show lack of adequate remedy at law or to show or tending to show irreparable damage or loss.
