Iowa § 327C.16

• Jurisdiction: Iowa
• Title VIII: TRANSPORTATION
• Ch. 327C: SUPERVISION OF CARRIERS

Text

It shall be the duty of the court in which any such cause shall be pending to require the
issue to be made up within twenty days after commencement of the action and to give the
same precedence over other civil business. If the court shall find that such rule, regulation,
or order is reasonable and just, and that in refusing compliance therewith said railway
company is neglecting and omitting the performance of any public duty or obligation, the
court shall decree a mandatory and perpetual injunction, compelling obedience to and
compliance with such rule, order, or regulation by said railroad company or person, its
officers, agents, servants and employees, and may grant such other relief as may be deemed
just and proper. All violations of such decree shall render the company, persons, officers,
agents, servants and employees who are in any manner instrumental in such violation, guilty
of contempt of court, and the court may punish such contempt by a fine not exceeding one
thousand dollars for each offense. Such decree shall continue and remain in effect and be
enforced until the rule, order, or regulation shall be modified or vacated by the department.
