   If a court of appropriate jurisdiction finds that an employer has intentionally failed to provide written notification of its intention to close or relocate its operations at least sixty days prior to such action as provided by Section 9-1502, the court may enjoin the employer from carrying out such action until the employer has given proper notice or has otherwise complied with the requirements of this ordinance.
