Title 12 › Chapter CHAPTER 22— - TYING ARRANGEMENTS › § 1976
Summary
Anyone can go to a U.S. federal court that has power over the people involved and ask for a court order to stop actions that would cause loss or harm because of a violation of section 1972. The court will handle the request using the same rules it uses for other emergency stop-orders. If the person seeking the order posts a proper bond to cover damages if the order was wrongly given and shows the harm is immediate and cannot be fixed, the court may issue a temporary order (a preliminary injunction).

Any person may sue for and have injunctive relief, in any court of the United States having jurisdiction over the parties, against threatened loss or damage by reason of a violation of section 1972 of this title, under the same conditions and principles as injunctive relief against threatened conduct that will cause loss or damage is granted by courts of equity and under the rules governing such proceedings. Upon the execution of proper bond against damages for an injunction improvidently granted and a showing that the danger of irreparable loss or damage is immediate, a preliminary injunction may issue.
