N.Y. General Business Law § 460-h: Enforcement

§ 460-h. Enforcement. Upon any violation of this article, an

application may be made by the attorney general in the name of the

people of the state to a court having jurisdiction to issue an

injunction, and upon notice to the respondent of not fewer than five

days, to enjoin and restrain the continuance of the violation. If it

shall appear to the satisfaction of the court or justice that the

defendant has, in fact, violated this article, an injunction may be

issued by such court or justice, enjoining and restraining any further

violation, without requiring proof that any person has, in fact, been

injured or damaged thereby. In any such proceeding, the court may make

allowances to the attorney general as provided in paragraph six of

subdivision (a) of section eighty-three hundred three of the civil

practice law and rules, and direct restitution. Whenever the court shall

determine that a violation of this article has occurred, the court may

impose a civil penalty of not more than ten thousand dollars for each

violation.
