7 U.S.C. § 216 — Proceedings to enforce orders; injunction

This is one undivided rule with no lettered parts. If a stockyard owner, market agency, or dealer refuses to obey an order from the Secretary — other than an order to pay money — while that order is still in effect, several people can act. The Secretary, or anyone hurt by the disobedience, or the United States (through its Attorney General) can go to the federal district court for the district where the disobeying person's main place of business is. If the court holds a hearing and decides the order was made lawfully, properly delivered, and that the person really is disobeying it, the court must enforce the order. It does this with a writ of injunction or other proper process — which can be "mandatory," forcing the person to act, or can simply restrain the person, their officers, agents, or representatives from continuing to disobey the order.
