FAIR TRADING ACT 1987 - SECT 76

76 .         Injunctions generally (TPA s. 80)

        (1)         An injunction granted under this Part may be, or include, an injunction restraining a person from carrying on a business of supplying goods or services (whether or not as part of or incidental to, the carrying on of another business) — 

            (a)         for a specified period; or

            (b)         except on specified terms and conditions.

        (2)         The power of the Court to grant an injunction requiring a person to do an act or thing may be exercised — 

            (a)         whether or not it appears to the Court that the person intends to refuse or fail again, or to continue to refuse or fail, to do that act or thing;

            (b)         whether or not the person has previously refused or failed to do that act or thing; and

            (c)         whether or not there is an imminent danger of substantial damage to any person if the first-mentioned person refuses or fails to do that act or thing.

        (3)         Where the Minister or the Commissioner makes an application to the Court for the grant of an injunction under this Part, the Court shall not require the applicant or any other person, as a condition of granting an interim injunction, to give any undertakings as to damages or costs.

        (4)         If — 

            (a)         in a case to which subsection (3) does not apply, the Court would, but for this subsection, require a person to give an undertaking as to damages or costs; and

            (b)         the Minister gives the undertaking,

                the Court shall accept the undertaking by the Minister and shall not require a further undertaking from any other person.

        (5)         An interim injunction may be granted under this Part pending final determination of the application.

        (6)         A final injunction may, by consent of the parties, be granted under this Part without proof that proper grounds for the injunction exist.

        (7)         An injunction under this Part may be rescinded or varied at any time.

        (8)         If the Court grants an injunction in relation to goods the supply of which would offend against section 51, 52 or 54, the Court may make such order as it thinks fit with respect to disposal of the goods.
