used, or is about to use any method, act or practice declared by KRS 367.170 to be

unlawful, and that proceedings would be in the public interest, he may immediately

move in the name of the Commonwealth in a Circuit Court for a restraining order or

temporary or permanent injunction to prohibit the use of such method, act or

practice. The action may be brought in the Circuit Court of the county in which such

person resides or h as his principal place of business or in the Circuit Court of the

county in which the method, act or practice declared by KRS 367.170 to be

unlawful has been committed or is about to be committed; or with consent of the

parties may be brought in the Franklin Circuit Court.

(2) Upon application of the Attorney General, a restraining order shall be granted

whenever it reasonably appears that any person will suffer immediate harm, loss or

injury from a method, act or practice prohibited by KRS 367.170. If the defendant

moves for the dissolution of a restraining order issued under this section, the court

shall hold a hearing within five (5) business days of the date of service of the

defendant's motion to dissolve, unless a delay in hearing the cause is requeste d by,

or otherwise caused by the defendant. If such a hearing is not held within five (5)

business days, the restraining order will automatically be dissolved.

allege or prove that an adequate remedy at law does not exist. Further, it shall not be

necessary to allege or prove that irreparable injury, loss or damage will result if the

injunctive relief is denied.
