Baltimore City Code

§ 4-6. Action by Law Department

(a) Commission may refer to Law Department.

In the event any respondent refuses to comply with an order of the Commission (as to any matter other than those covered by § 2-4(11) of this article) or in the event, at any time after the filing of a complaint the Commission determines that the alleged unlawful practice will have become final and unrectifiable unless restrained, the Commission may certify the matter to the City Law Department.

(b) Law Department to file action.

The City Law Department shall thereupon proceed, in the name of the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, as soon as reasonably possible, to invoke the aid of an appropriate court to secure compliance with the Commission's order and with the provisions of this article, or to prevent final, unrectifiable accomplishment of a practice designated as unlawful by this article, as the case may be.

(c) Decision by court.

The court shall have power to grant such temporary relief or restraining order as it deems just and proper and to make and enter an order enforcing, modifying, and enforcing as so modified, or setting aside, in whole or in part, the order of the Commission.
