Where this section sits in the code
  1. State Finance Law
  2. Article 7-A. Citizen-taxpayer Actions

§ 123-e. Relief by the court. 1. The court may grant equitable or

declaratory relief, or both, including, but not limited to: enjoining

the activity complained of; restitution to the state of those public

funds disbursed or public property alienated; in the case of public

property wrongfully alienated, compelling payment of the full market

value; a declaration that a proposed disbursement or alienation of

property would be illegal; and such other and further relief as to the

court may seem just and proper.

2. The court, at the commencement of an action pursuant to this

article, or at any time subsequent thereto and prior to entry of

judgment, upon application by the plaintiff or the attorney general on

behalf of the people of the state, may grant a preliminary injunction

and impose such terms and conditions as may be necessary to restrain the

defendant if he or she threatens to commit or is committing an act or

acts which, if committed or continued during the pendency of the action,

would be detrimental to the public interest. A temporary restraining

order may be granted pending a hearing for a preliminary injunction

notwithstanding the requirements of section six thousand three hundred

thirteen of the civil practice law and rules, where it appears that

immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage will result unless the

defendant is restrained before a hearing can be had.
