§ 4509. Judicial order relating to an assembly
When a permit officer applies to the Superior Court for a restraining order, injunctive
relief, or other order, or a person applies for judicial review under subsection 4508(b) of this title, the Court shall expedite the proceedings to afford timely relief, cause appropriate
notice to be given, and hear the case without a jury. Evidence commonly relied upon
by prudent individuals in the conduct of their affairs may be received. Upon a hearing,
the Court may enter an order declaring no permit is required, grant the permit as
requested, grant a permit upon specified conditions, or enjoin the holding of the
assembly if there is a reasonable likelihood that the assembly will substantially
harm public health or safety and this cannot be avoided by the imposition of conditions
on the permit. (Added 1973, No. 181 (Adj. Sess.), § 9, eff. March 30, 1974.)
