2021 Oregon Revised Statutes|Volume : 17 - Occupations|Chapter 686 - Veterinarians; Veterinary Technicians|Section 686.270 - Injunction against violations.

If at any time the Oregon State Veterinary Medical Examining Board concludes that any person is violating the Oregon veterinary medical laws the board may, in its own name, bring an action to enjoin that person from continuing such practice. The action shall be commenced and prosecuted in the same manner as an action not triable by right to a jury. If, after trial, the court finds that the defendant has been or is violating, or is threatening to violate, the Oregon veterinary medical laws it shall enter a permanent injunction restraining the defendant from so doing. In any such action it shall not be necessary to show that any person is especially injured by the acts complained of. The violation of any such temporary or permanent injunction may be punished by contempt as in other cases. Neither the bringing of such action nor any injunction entered therein, nor the punishment for contempt for violating any order or judgment entered in such action, shall prevent or prejudice the prosecution of any criminal action for any violation of this chapter.
