(3) In a proceeding by the attorney general under § 47-1A-1431.
In a shareholder's proceeding under subdivision (1) to enjoin an unauthorized corporate act, the court may enjoin or set aside the act, if equitable and if all affected persons are parties to the proceeding, and may award damages for loss, other than anticipated profits, suffered by the corporation or another party because of enjoining the unauthorized act.
