§ 28-7-26. Judicial enforcement of orders.
(a) The board shall have the power to petition the superior court of the state within the county where the unfair labor practice in question occurred or where any person charged with the unfair labor practice resides or transacts business. If that court is on vacation or in recess, then the board may petition to the superior court of any county adjoining the county where the unfair labor practice in question occurred or where any person charged with the unfair labor practice resides or transacts business, for the enforcement of the order and for appropriate temporary relief or restraining order. The board shall certify and file in the court a transcript of the entire record in the proceeding, including the pleadings and testimony upon which the order was made and the findings and order of the board.
(b) Upon the filing, the court shall cause notice of the filing to be served on the person, and at that time shall have jurisdiction of the proceeding and of the question determined in the proceeding. The court shall have the power to grant any temporary relief or restraining order that it deems just and proper, and to make and enter upon the pleadings, testimony, and proceedings set forth in the transcript a decree enforcing, modifying, and enforcing as so modified, or setting aside, in whole or in part, the order of the board.
