§3077. Suits and failure to bring suit
A. Whenever it appears that a person is violating or is threatening to violate any provision of this part or a rule, regulation, or order made hereunder, the board shall bring suit to restrain that person from continuing the violation or from carrying out the threat.
B. Venue shall be in the district court in the parish in which the board is domiciled.
C. In any such suit, the board may obtain injunctions, prohibitory and mandatory, including temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions as the facts warrant.
D. If the board fails to bring suit within ten days to restrain a violation of this part or any rule, regulation, or order issued hereunder, any person in interest adversely affected by the violation who has notified the board in writing of the violation or threat thereof and has requested the board to sue, may bring suit to prevent any or further violations, in the district court of the parish in which the board is domiciled. If the court holds that injunctive relief should be granted, the board shall be made a party and shall be substituted for the person who brought the suit, and the injunction shall be issued as if the board has at all times been the complaining party.
