     231.28 Failure to obey order or law. 


    If a warehouse operator or household goods warehouse 
 operator fails to obey any law of this state or any order of the 
 department, the department may, upon verified petition alleging 
 such failure, apply to the district court of the county in which 
 the operator's principal place of business is located for the 
 enforcement of such law or order or other appropriate relief.  
 The court, upon such notice as it may direct, shall hear such 
 matter as in case of an appeal from an order.  On the hearing, 
 the findings of fact upon which the order is based shall be 
 prima facie evidence of the merits therein stated, and the court 
 may grant any provisional or other relief, ordinary or 
 extraordinary, legal or equitable, which the nature of the case 
 may require, and may impose a fine of not more than $50 for each 
 day's failure to obey any writ, process, or order of the court, 
 in addition to all other penalties or forfeitures provided by 
 law.  A temporary mandatory or restraining order may be made in 
 such proceedings, notwithstanding any undetermined issue of 
 fact, upon such terms as to security as the court may direct.
