Upon the filing of a verified petition, the court with appropriate jurisdiction may issue a temporary restraining order without notice or bond, and may preliminarily and permanently enjoin the violation. If it is established that the person has violated or is violating the injunction, the court may punish the offender for contempt of court. Proceedings under this Section are in addition to all other remedies and penalties provided by this Act.

(c) Whenever, in the opinion of the Commission, a person violates any provision of this Act, the Commission may issue an order to show cause why an order to cease and desist should not be entered against that person. The order shall clearly set forth the grounds relied upon by the Commission and shall allow at least 7 days from the date of the order to file an answer satisfactory to the Commission. Failure to answer to the satisfaction of the Commission shall cause an order to cease and desist to be issued.
