F.C.P.A. : Domestic Concerns :
(d) Injunctive relief
- When it appears to the Attorney
General that any domestic concern to which this section applies, or
officer, director, employee, agent, or stockholder thereof, is engaged,
or about to engage, in any act or practice constituting a violation
of subsection (a) of this section, the Attorney General may, in his
discretion, bring a civil action in an appropriate district court of
the United States to enjoin such act or practice, and upon a proper
showing, a permanent injunction or a temporary restraining order shall
be granted without bond.
- For the purpose of any civil
investigation which, in the opinion of the Attorney General, is necessary
and proper to enforce this section, the Attorney General or his designee
are empowered to administer oaths and affirmations, subpoena witnesses,
take evidence, and require the production of any books, papers, or other
documents which the Attorney General deems relevant or material to such
investigation. The attendance of witnesses and the production of documentary
evidence may be required from any place in the United States, or any
territory, possession, or commonwealth of the United States, at any
designated place of hearing.
- In case of contumacy by,
or refusal to obey a subpoena issued to, any person, the Attorney General
may invoke the aid of any court of the United States within the jurisdiction
of which such investigation or proceeding is carried on, or where such
person resides or carries on business, in requiring the attendance and
testimony of witnesses and the production of books, papers, or other
documents. Any such court may issue an order requiring such person to
appear before the Attorney General or his designee, there to produce
records, if so ordered, or to give testimony touching the matter under
investigation. Any failure to obey such order of the court may be punished
by such court as a contempt thereof.
All process in any such case may be served in the judicial district
in which such person resides or may be found. The Attorney General may
make such rules relating to civil investigations as may be necessary
or appropriate to implement the provisions of this subsection.
