North Dakota Century Code Title 15. Education § 15-20.4-14. Enforcement--Injunction

1. The attorney general of this state, or the state's attorney of any county in which a postsecondary career school is found, at the request of the board or on the attorney general's own motion, may bring any appropriate action or proceeding, including injunctive proceedings, or criminal proceedings pursuant to section 15-20.4-12, in any court of competent jurisdiction for the enforcement of the provisions of this chapter.

2. Whenever it appears to the board that any person, group, or entity is, is about to, or has been violating any of the provisions of this chapter or any of the lawful rules, regulations, or orders of the board, the board may, on its own motion or on the written complaint of any person, file a petition for injunction in the name of the board in any court of competent jurisdiction in this state against such person, group, or entity, for the purpose of enjoining such violation or for an order directing compliance with the provisions of this chapter, and all rules, regulations, and orders issued hereunder. It is not necessary that the board allege or prove that it has no adequate remedy at law. The right of injunction provided in this section is in addition to any other legal remedy which the board has, and is in addition to any right of criminal prosecution provided by law; provided, however, the board may not obtain a temporary restraining order without notice to the person, group, or entity affected. The existence of board action with respect to alleged violations of this chapter does not operate as a bar to an action for injunctive relief pursuant to this section.
