§214. Enforcement
1. The superintendent may, through the Attorney General of this State, invoke the aid of the Superior Court through proceedings instituted in any county of this State to enforce any lawful order made or action taken by the superintendent. In such proceedings, the Superior Court may make such orders, either preliminary or final, as it considers proper under the facts established before it.

The Attorney General shall promptly institute such action or proceedings, including, but not limited to, actions or proceedings to seek restitution, against that person as in the Attorney General's opinion the information may require or justify.
