CODE OF VIRGINIA

SUSPENSION OF INSPECTION CERTIFICATE; INJUNCTIVE RELIEF (§ 40.1-51.11)

A. The Commissioner or his authorized representative may at any time suspend an
inspection certificate when, in his opinion, the boiler or pressure vessel for
which it was issued, cannot be operated without menace to the public safety, or
when the boiler or pressure vessel is found not to comply with the rules and
regulations herein provided. Each suspension of an inspection certificate shall
continue in effect until such boiler or pressure vessel shall have been made to
conform to the rules and regulations of the Board, and until such inspection
certificate shall have been reinstated. No boiler or pressure vessel shall be
operated during the period of suspension.

B. Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter to the contrary, in the
event of violation of any provision of this chapter or the regulations
promulgated thereunder, the Board or the Commissioner may petition any
appropriate court of record for relief by injunction, without being compelled to
allege or prove that an adequate remedy at law does not exist.
