§2988. Civil action by injured person

1.  Injunctive relief; damages and costs.  Any person damaged or who is threatened with loss or injury by reason of a violation of section 2983 may bring a civil action in the Superior Court in the county where the person resides, to prevent, restrain or enjoin the violation or threatened violation. If in that action a violation or threatened violation of section 2983 is established, the court may enjoin and restrain or otherwise prohibit the violation or threatened violation. In that action it is not necessary that actual damages to the plaintiff be alleged or proved. In addition to the injunctive relief, the plaintiff in the action is entitled to recover from the defendant 3 times the amount of actual damages sustained by the plaintiff and the costs of the action, including reasonable attorneys' fees.  
[RR 2021, c. 1, Pt. B, §144 (COR).]
2.  Damages only.  In the event no injunctive relief is sought or required, any person injured by a violation of section 2983 may maintain an action for damages alone in the Superior Court in the county where the person resides and the measure of damages in the action is the same as prescribed in subsection 1.  
[RR 2021, c. 1, Pt. B, §144 (COR).]
