OPINION
CONTRERAS, Judge.
This appeal presents the question of whether the attorney general has standing under our consumer fraud legislation to bring an action for injunctive relief, civil penalties and restitution against a party engaging in conduct that is subject to control by an administrative body. It is our opinion that except where the legislature has by particularized and comprehensive legislation entrusted the protection of the consumer to a specific administrative agency, the attorney general may bring such action.
