72 Enforcement of rights and obligations
(1) The Supreme Court may, on the application of an incorporated association,
or of a member thereof, make orders, including interim orders—
(a) giving
directions for the performance and observance of the rules of such
incorporated association by any person who is under an obligation to perform
or observe those rules; or
(b) declaring and enforcing the rights and
obligations of members of such incorporated association between themselves,
and the rights and obligations between such incorporated association and any
member or members thereof.
(2) However, an incorporated association, or a
member of an incorporated association, can not make an application under
subsection (1) in relation to a dispute under the rules unless the association
or member has made reasonable attempts to resolve the dispute under the
grievance procedure in the association’s rules.
(3) An order may be made
under this section notwithstanding that no right of a proprietary nature is
involved, or that the applicant has no interest in the property of the
incorporated association.
