If at a hearing before the commissioner, the commissioner determines that the offeror has violated this chapter, or the commissioner's rules administering this chapter, the commissioner shall issue and cause to be served on the offeror an order requiring the offeror to cease and desist from the violation and may issue and cause to be served on the offeror an order preventing the offeror from making any further tender offers, and may take any affirmative action as will effectuate the policies of this chapter. The commissioner may petition any district court of this state for the enforcement of the order and for appropriate temporary relief or restraining order and shall file in the court the record of the proceedings. Upon the filing of the petition, the court must serve notice upon the offeror and thereupon has jurisdiction of the proceeding and of the question determined therein and may grant the temporary relief or restraining order as it deems just and proper, and to make and enter a decree enforcing, modifying, and enforcing as so modified, or for setting aside in whole or in part the order. The court must enforce the order unless it finds that the order was not in accordance with law, that it was in violation of the constitutional rights of the offeror, that the commissioner's rules or procedure did not afford the offeror a fair hearing, that the commissioner's findings of fact were not supported by the evidence, or that the order was not supported by the findings of fact.
