14Injunctions#
(1)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.
Note: Contravention of the regulations may also be an offence against section 16.
(2)An injunction may be granted only on application by the Attorney-General.
(3)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.
(4)A superior court may grant an interim injunction pending its determination of an application.
(5)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.
(6)A court may discharge or vary an injunction it has granted.
(7)The power to grant or vary an injunction restraining a person from engaging in conduct may be exercised:
(a)whether or not it appears to the court that the person intends to engage again, or to continue to engage, in such conduct; and
(b)whether or not the person has previously engaged in such conduct.
15Invalidation of authorisations#
An authorisation (however described) granted under the regulations is taken never to have been granted if information contained in, or information or a document accompanying, the application for the authorisation:
(a)is false or misleading in a material particular; or
(b)omits any matter or thing without which the information or document is misleading in a material particular.
Example: An example of an authorisation is a licence, permission, consent or approval.
