a cease and desist order issued by the executive director or the
commission, or with any provision of this title, the Attorney
General, upon request of the commission, shall petition the superior
court for the issuance of a preliminary or permanent injunction, or
both, as may be appropriate, restraining the person or persons from
continuing any activity in violation of the permit, order, or
provision of this title.
(b) The evidence before the court shall consist of the record
before the executive director or the commission, whoever initially
issued the order, and any other relevant evidence that, in the
judgment of the court, should be considered to effectuate and
implement the policies of this title. In every case brought under
this section, the court shall exercise its independent judgment on
the evidence.
(c) The court shall issue an order directing defendants to appear
before the court at a time and place certain and show cause why the

or mandatory relief that may be warranted.

after notice to the executive director or the commission, whichever
initially issued the order, and hearing. The stay may be imposed or
continued only if it is not against the public interest.
