Revisor's Note to this article.

10-105. INJUNCTIVE ACTIONS.

THE SECRETARY MAY BRING AN ACTION TO ENJOIN ANY PERSON
FROM COMMITTING ANY NUISANCE SUBJECT TO THIS TITLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language patterned
after the last half of the third clause of the
first sentence of Article 43, § 2.

The language "subject to this title" is added to
clarify the types of nuisances that a person may
be enjoined from committing under this section.

The references in Article 43, § 2 to judicial
jurisdiction are omitted as repetitive of other,
independent provisions of law.

The phrase "any person" is substituted for the
phrase "no matter by whom or what authority
committed", for brevity and clarity.

SUBTITLE 2. NUISANCE ABATEMENT.
