Enforcement of other orders etc
59 Enforcement of other orders etc
If a court having jurisdiction under this Act is satisfied that a person has knowingly and without reasonable cause contravened or failed to comply with an order made or injunction granted under this Act (not being an order for the payment of money), the court may—
order the person to pay a fine not exceeding 20 penalty units,
require the person to enter into a recognizance, with or without sureties, in such reasonable amount as the court thinks fit, that the person will comply with the order or injunction, or order the person to be imprisoned until the person enters into such a recognizance or until the expiration of 3 months, whichever first occurs,
order the person to deliver up to the court such documents as the court thinks fit, and
make such other orders as the court considers necessary to enforce compliance with the order or injunction.
Nothing in subsection (1) affects the power of a court to punish a person for contempt of court.
Where an act or omission referred to in subsection (1) is an offence against any other law, the person committing the offence may be prosecuted and convicted under that law, but nothing in this section renders any person liable to be punished twice in respect of the same offence.
