Water Industry Act 2012

The Supreme Court may grant an injunction—

restraining a person from contravening an award; or

requiring a person to comply with an award.

The power of the Court to grant an injunction restraining a contravention of an award may be exercised—

whether or not the defendant has previously contravened the relevant provision of the award; and

whether or not there is imminent danger of substantial damage to any person.

The power of the Court to grant an injunction requiring compliance with an award may be exercised—

whether or not the defendant has previously failed to comply with the relevant provision of the award; and

whether or not there is imminent danger of substantial damage to any person.

The Court may grant an interim injunction under this section.

An application for an injunction under this section may be made by—

the regulator; or

a person with a proper interest in whether the relevant provision is complied with.

The Court may grant an injunction by consent without inquiring into the merits of the application.

If the regulator makes an application for an injunction, the Court cannot require the regulator or any other person to give an undertaking about damages as a condition of granting the injunction.

The Court may, on application by the regulator or an interested party, discharge or vary an injunction.
