Terms Used In Nevada Revised Statutes 613.500
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
- Injunction: An order of the court prohibiting (or compelling) the performance of a specific act to prevent irreparable damage or injury.
- Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.
- person: means a natural person, any form of business or social organization and any other nongovernmental legal entity including, but not limited to, a corporation, partnership, association, trust or unincorporated organization. See Nevada Revised Statutes 0.039
2. In determining the amount of any administrative penalty to be imposed against the person, the Labor Commissioner shall consider the previous record of the person in terms of compliance with NRS 613.440 to 613.510, inclusive, and any regulation adopted pursuant thereto, and the severity of the violation. Any administrative penalty imposed against the person is in addition to any other remedy or penalty provided pursuant to NRS 613.440 to 613.510, inclusive.
3. The Labor Commissioner may bring a civil action pursuant to this section to restrain violations of NRS 613.440 to 613.510, inclusive, or any regulation adopted pursuant thereto. A court of competent jurisdiction may issue, without bond, a temporary or permanent restraining order or injunction to require compliance with NRS 613.440 to 613.510, inclusive, or any regulation adopted pursuant thereto, including any legal or equitable relief incident thereto as may be appropriate, such as employment of a prospective employee, reinstatement or promotion of an employee, and the payment of lost wages and benefits.
