Guam § 32127 - Other Remedies Available to Attorney General.

§ 32127. Other Remedies Available to Attorney General.

In addition to all other remedies available as provided in this

chapter or at law or equity, the Attorney General shall have the

following remedies and standing to enforce the provisions of this

chapter:

(a) In addition to other remedies available, the court

may, upon application of the Attorney General, impose a

civil penalty of not more than Five Thousand Dollars

($5,000) per violation of this chapter.

(b) Any person who violates the terms of an injunction

issued upon application of the Attorney General pursuant to

this chapter or in any case in which the government of Guam

or the Attorney General is a party in an action pursuant to this

chapter, in addition to all other remedies for contempt, shall

be ordered by the court to forfeit and pay to the government

of Guam a civil penalty of not more than Ten Thousand

Dollars ($10,000) per violation. In determining whether an

injunction has been violated the court shall take into

consideration the maintenance of procedures reasonably

adapted to insure compliance with the injunction. For the

purposes of this section, the court issuing the injunction shall

retain jurisdiction, and the cause shall be continued, and in

these cases, the Attorney General, acting in the name of the

territory of Guam, may petition for recovery of civil penalties

under this section.

(c) An order of the court awarding civil penalties under

this chapter applies only to violations of the injunction

incurred prior to the awarding of the penalty order. Second

or subsequent violations of an injunction issued under this

section are subject to the same penalties set out in this

chapter.

(d) The court, at the request of the Attorney General,

may, prior to or after judgment, freeze the accounts at any

financial institution of any person violating this chapter, if

there is a likelihood that the violator will abscond with the

money in the accounts. Any aggrieved person may be heard

or less if permitted by the court.
