A.  The Commission or any person injured by any violation, or who would suffer injury from any threatened violation of Sections 326 through 345 of Title 68 of the Oklahoma Statutes, may maintain an action in any court of equitable jurisdiction to prevent, restrain or enjoin such violation or threatened violation.  If in such action a violation or threatened violation of Sections 326 through 345 of Title 68 of the Oklahoma Statutes shall be established, the court shall enjoin and restrain, or otherwise prohibit, such violation or threatened violation, and, in addition thereto, the court shall assess in favor of the plaintiff and against the defendant the costs of suit including reasonable attorney's fees.  In such action it shall not be necessary that actual damages to the plaintiff be alleged or proved, but where alleged and proved, the plaintiff in the action, in addition to such injunctive relief and cost of suit, including reasonable attorney's fees shall be entitled to recover from the defendant the actual damages sustained by him.

B.  In the event that no injunctive relief is sought or required, any person injured by a violation of Sections 326 through 345 of Title 68 of the Oklahoma Statutes may maintain an action for damages and costs of suit in any court of general jurisdiction.
