(a) Whenever the Attorney General has reasonable cause to believe that any person or group of persons is engaged in a pattern or practice of resistance to the full enjoyment of any of the rights secured by this subchapter or subchapter III of this chapter and that the pattern or practice is of such a nature and is intended to deny the full exercise of the rights herein described, the Attorney General may bring a civil action in the Court of Chancery by filing with it a complaint:

(1) Signed by the Attorney General (or in the Attorney General’s absence the Chief Deputy Attorney General);

(2) Setting forth facts pertaining to such pattern or practice; and

(3) Requesting such relief, including an application for a permanent or temporary injunction, restraining order or other order against the person or persons responsible for such pattern or practice, as the Attorney General deems necessary to insure the full enjoyment of the rights herein described.

(b) The Court of Chancery shall have jurisdiction over proceedings brought pursuant to this section.
