(a) If the existence of the nuisance is shown in the action to the satisfaction of the court, the court shall allow a temporary writ of injunction to abate and prevent the continuance or recurrence of the nuisance.
(b) On granting the temporary writ, the court shall require a bond on the part of the applicant to the effect that the applicant will pay to the enjoined defendant such damages, not exceeding an amount to be specified, as the defendant sustains by reason of the injunction should the court finally decide that the applicant was not entitled to the injunction. No bond shall be required where the proceeding is instituted by the city attorney.
(c) The action shall be filed in the circuit court and have precedence over all other actions except election contests, hearings on injunctions, and hearings under §§ 5-74-109 and 16-105-403.
