Upon proper showing, the circuit court may also issue an injunction restraining any conduct or other act in order to protect the interests of depositors, members, creditors, or stockholders of a financial institution or the interests of the public in the safety and soundness of the financial institution system in this state and the proper conduct of fiduciary functions.

(a) With respect to a financial institution, a supervisory action subject to enforcement pursuant to s. 655.033, s. 655.037, or s. 655.041 which directs the financial institution to take corrective action to address violations of law or safety and soundness deficiencies.
(b) With respect to a person or entity that is not a financial institution, an order issued by the office pursuant the financial institutions codes which is directed to such person or entity.
