  • Temporary restraining order: Prohibits a person from an action that is likely to cause irreparable harm. This differs from an injunction in that it may be granted immediately, without notice to the opposing party, and without a hearing. It is intended to last only until a hearing can be held.
    • Whenever any person violates any of the provisions of this act, the board may maintain an action in the name of the state of Idaho to enjoin said person from any further violations, such action to be brought either in the county in which said acts are claimed to have been or are being committed, in the county where the defendant resides, or in Ada County. Upon the filing of a verified complaint the district court, if satisfied that the acts complained of have been or probably are being or may be committed, may issue a temporary restraining order and/or preliminary injunction, without bond, enjoining the defendant from the commission of any such act or acts constituting said violations. A copy of said complaint shall be served upon the defendant and the proceedings shall thereafter be conducted as in other similar civil actions. If the commission of said act or acts be established, the court shall enter a decree permanently enjoining said defendant from committing said act or acts. In case of violation of any injunction issued under the provisions of this section, the court or the judge thereof at chambers, may summarily try and punish the offender for contempt of court.
