In addition to another remedy or criminal prosecution, if it appears to the board that a person violated a provision of this article or a regulation or order of the board or a law of this State relating to accountancy, the board may file a suit in equity in its own name, or in the name of the State, on its own relation, and by its counsel, with an administrative law judge, as provided under Article 5 of Chapter 23 of Title 1, alleging the facts and praying for a temporary restraining order or permanent injunction against the person, restraining the person from violating the law, regulation, or order, or commanding the person to obey the law, regulation, or order.

Upon proper application, and showing that the person is not registered or that a renewal certificate has not been applied for or that registration has been denied, revoked or suspended, or that the law or regulation or order has been or is about to be violated or disobeyed, which showing may be made by affidavit, the administrative law judge, as provided under Article 5 of Chapter 23 of Title 1, shall issue a temporary restraining order or injunction and, upon final hearing, shall grant and issue an injunction, including mandatory injunction, upon finding the truth and sufficiency of the allegations of the petition. An administrative law judge, as provided under Article 5 of Chapter 23 of Title 1, may enforce the injunction by punishment for contempt and by other process as is permitted to circuit courts and shall make other orders as its discretion and the rules require. The injunction may be limited in time, perpetual or conditional, as may be necessary and proper to the enforcement of this article or the regulations or orders of the board or the law of this State relating to accountancy.
