Any such assurance shall be in writing and be filed with and subject to the approval of the district court of the county in which the alleged violator resides or has his principal place of business. Failure to perform the terms of any such assurance shall constitute prima facie proof of a violation of this act for the purpose of securing any injunction as provided in Section 10 of this act and for the purpose of Section 9 hereof. After commencement of any action by a district attorney, the attorney general may not accept an assurance of discontinuance without the consent of the district attorney.
