Civil proceedings for enforcement of biodiversity certification agreements
13.16 Civil proceedings for enforcement of biodiversity certification agreements
The Minister, or a person acting with the written consent of the Minister, may bring proceedings in the Land and Environment Court for an order to remedy or restrain a breach of a biodiversity certification agreement under this Act.
In any such proceedings, a consent to institute the proceedings, purporting to have been signed by the Minister, is evidence of that consent without proof of the signature of the Minister.
If the Court is satisfied that a breach has been committed or that a breach will, unless restrained by order of the Court, be committed, it may make such orders as it thinks fit to remedy or restrain the breach.
