Upon the filing of a verified petition in a circuit court, the court, if satisfied by affidavit or otherwise that the person or entity has been engaged in the practice of auctioning without a valid and current license, may enter a temporary restraining order without notice or bond enjoining the defendant from further practice. Only the showing of non-licensure, by affidavit or otherwise, is necessary in order for a temporary injunction to be issued. A copy of the verified complaint shall be served upon the defendant and the proceedings shall thereafter be conducted as in other civil cases except as modified by this Section. If it is established that the defendant has been or is engaged in unlawful practice, the court may enter an order or judgment perpetually enjoining the defendant from further practice. In all proceedings hereunder, the court, in its discretion, may apportion the costs among the parties interested in the action, including cost of filing the complaint, service of process, witness fees and expenses, court reporter charges, and reasonable attorneys' fees. In case of violation of any injunctive order entered under the provisions of this Section, the court may summarily try and punish the offender for contempt of court. These injunction proceedings shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all penalties and other remedies provided in this Act.
