Petition for enforcement of attorney general's demand--Court order--Protective provisions

Official statutory text

If a person objects to or otherwise fails to comply with the written demand served upon him under § 37-1-11.1 the attorney general may file in the circuit court of the county in which the person resides or in which he maintains a principal place of business within this state petition for an order to enforce the demand. Notice of hearing the petition and a copy of the petition shall be served upon the person, who may appear in opposition to the petition. If the court finds that the demand is proper, there is reasonable cause to believe there may have been a violation of this chapter, and the information sought or document or object demanded is relevant to the violation, it shall order the person to comply with the demand subject to modification the court may prescribe. Upon motion by the person and for good cause shown, the court may make any further order in the proceedings that justice requires to protect the person from unreasonable annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, burden, or expense.
