                       TITLE 12--BANKS AND BANKING
 
                     CHAPTER 22--TYING ARRANGEMENTS
 
Sec. 1973. Jurisdiction of courts; duty of United States 
        attorneys; equitable proceedings; petition; expedition of cases; 
        temporary restraining orders; bringing in additional parties; 
        subpenas
        
    The district courts of the United States have jurisdiction to 
prevent and restrain violations of section 1972 of this title and it is 
the duty of the United States attorneys, under the direction of the 
Attorney General, to institute proceedings in equity to prevent and 
restrain such violations. The proceedings may be by way of a petition 
setting forth the case and praying that the violation be enjoined or 
otherwise prohibited. When the parties complained of have been duly 
notified of the petition, the court shall proceed, as soon as possible, 
to the hearing and determination of the case. While the petition is 
pending, and before final decree, the court may at any time make such 
temporary restraining order or prohibition as it deems just. Whenever it 
appears to the court that the ends of justice require that other parties 
be brought before it, the court may cause them to be summoned whether or 
not they reside in the district in which the court is held, and subpenas 
to that end may be served in any district by the marshal thereof.

(Pub. L. 91-607, title I, Sec. 106(c), Dec. 31, 1970, 84 Stat. 1767.)
