C.R.S. § 6-2-111: Unlawful acts - remedy - license - rules.

(1) Any person, firm, private corporation, municipal corporation, public corporation, or trade association may maintain an action to enjoin a continuance of any act in violation of sections 6-2-103 to 6-2-108 or section 6-2-110 and, if injured thereby, for the recovery of damages. If, in such action, the court finds that the defendant is violating or has violated any of the provisions of sections 6-2-103 to 6-2-108 or section 6-2-110, it shall enjoin the defendant from a continuance of the violations. It shall not be necessary that actual damages to the plaintiff be alleged or proved. In addition to such injunctive relief, the plaintiff in said action shall be entitled to recover from the defendant three times the amount of the actual damages, if any, sustained.

(2) Without prejudice to the rights of any person, firm, private corporation, municipal corporation, public corporation, or trade association to bring an action, the attorney general has like powers to those provided in subsection (1) of this section, and it is the attorney general's duty, upon a showing by any person, firm, private corporation, municipal corporation, public corporation, or trade association that there is reason to believe that a person subject to the terms of this article 2 is violating any term of sections 6-2-103 to 6-2-108 or section 6-2-110, to prosecute the violation and seek an injunction or restraining order to enjoin the continuance of the violation.

(3) If a person, firm, private corporation, municipal corporation, public corporation, or trade association, in writing and under oath, submits to the attorney general a statement setting forth facts sufficient to constitute a prima facie case of a violation of sections 6-2-103 to 6-2-108 or any other provision of this article 2, the attorney general shall seek injunctive relief or a restraining order to enjoin the continuance of the violation. To this end, and for this purpose, the attorney general may appear in the attorney general's official capacity to seek relief in any court in the state having jurisdiction.

(4) A district attorney, when requested in writing by the attorney general to advise and consult with the attorney general concerning the institution and prosecution of an action described in this article 2, shall act for the attorney general in prosecution of the action. However, the attorney general may choose, select, appoint, and recompense from money provided for the purposes of enforcement of this article 2 any attorney admitted to practice in the state as a special prosecutor who has full and complete power to act for the attorney general.

(5) The attorney general, for the purposes of carrying out the terms and provisions of this article, has the power to promulgate rules and regulations for the enforcement of this article, not inconsistent with its terms, and to publish the same.

(6) The attorney general may appoint such personnel as may reasonably be required to carry out the functions prescribed for the attorney general's office.
