N.Y. Mental Hygiene Law § 32.27: Injunction and temporary restraining order

§ 32.27 Injunction and temporary restraining order.

(a) The supreme court may enjoin violations or threatened violations

of any provision of this article or violations of the regulations of the

office established pursuant to this article. Upon request of the

commissioner, the attorney general may maintain a proceeding in the

supreme court in the name of the people of the state to enjoin any such

violation, provided that notice of such violation or threatened

violation and proposed referral to the attorney general has been given

to the violator by mailing notice thereof to the last known address of

the violator by registered mail.

(b) If the proceeding is for the enforcement of a cease and desist

order issued after notice and hearing pursuant to the provisions of

section 32.23 of this article, the facts found by the commissioner shall

be conclusive if supported by substantial evidence.

(c) Notwithstanding any limitation in the civil practice law and

rules, such court may, on motion and affidavit, and upon proof that such

violation is one which reasonably may result in injury to any person,

whether or not such person is a party to such action, grant a temporary

restraining order upon such terms as may be just, pending the

determination of the proceeding. No security on the part of the state

shall be required.
