If a person defaults in providing information to a racing controlling authority as required by an integrity agreement or contribution agreement or by this Division, the controlling authority may apply to the
Supreme Court for an order requiring the disclosure of the information.
On an application, the Supreme Court may make such orders as it thinks fit to remedy the default and to prevent recurrence of similar defaults.

racing appeals tribunals;
other persons with responsibilities for regulating the conduct of a race or betting on a race;
any person or body in another State or a Territory of the
Commonwealth corresponding to a person or body referred to in a preceding subparagraph.
A racing controlling authority must not divulge information relating to trade secrets or business processes, financial information or information tending to identify a person obtained under this Division except—
as authorised by or under this Act or any other law;
or
with the consent of the person from whom the information was obtained or to whom the information relates; or
for a purpose connected with the payment of contributions under a contribution agreement or this Act; or
for the purpose of legal proceedings arising under this Act or in relation to an agreement under this Act. Maximum penalty: Maximum penalty: $10 000.
Information that has been disclosed under this section for a particular purpose must not be used for any other purpose by—
