Injunctions
14 Injunctions
If a person has engaged, is engaging, or proposes to engage, in conduct involving a contravention of the regulations, a superior court may by order grant an injunction restraining the person from engaging in the conduct.
Contravention of the regulations may also be an offence against section 16.
An injunction may be granted only on application by the Attorney‑General.
On an application, the court may grant an injunction by consent of all parties to the proceedings, whether or not the court is satisfied that subsection (1) applies.
A superior court may grant an interim injunction pending its determination of an application.
A court is not to require the Attorney‑General or anyone else to give an undertaking as to damages, as a condition of granting an interim injunction.
A court may discharge or vary an injunction it has granted.
The power to grant or vary an injunction restraining a person from engaging in conduct may be exercised:
whether or not it appears to the court that the person intends to engage again, or to continue to engage, in such conduct; and
whether or not the person has previously engaged in such conduct.
