§689l — Title 15 Commerce and Trade | U.S. Code

Summary

The Administrator (the agency official) can go to a federal court and ask it to stop a New Markets Venture Capital company or anyone else from breaking the rules in this chapter, or to make them follow those rules. If the Administrator shows the company has broken or is about to break the rules, the court can issue temporary or permanent orders to stop the actions or force compliance, and it can do this without requiring a bond. The court can take full control of the company and its assets anywhere and can appoint a trustee or receiver to manage them under court instructions. The Administrator may serve as that trustee or receiver, and the court may appoint the Administrator on request unless the court finds that would be unfair or otherwise inappropriate.
