49J. Proceedings for contravention of requirement to comply with relevant
customer information notice



(1) This section applies if-

   (a)  the Commission or a supplier of last resort gives a relevant customer
        information notice to a defaulting licensee or an insolvency official
        appointed for a defaulting licensee; and

   (b)  the defaulting licensee or insolvency official does not comply with
        any aspect of the notice.

(2) The Supreme Court, on an application by the Commission or the supplier of
last resort that gave the relevant customer information notice may, by order,
declare whether or not the defaulting licensee or insolvency official to which
the application relates has contravened section 49H(1).

(3) If the order declares the person to have contravened section 49H(1), the
order may include a requirement that the defaulting licensee or insolvency
official take such action, or adopt such practice, as the Supreme Court
requires for remedying the contravention or preventing a recurrence of the
contravention.
