(a) disclose, in the way and to the persons specified in the order, specified information that the person has possession of or access to; and
(b) publish, at the person’s expense and in in a specified way, an advertisement in the terms specified in, or determined in accordance with, the order.
Applying for adverse publicity orders
(3) An application for such an order may be made by:
(a) if the SPF civil penalty order was for a contravention of a civil penalty provision of an SPF principle—the SPF general regulator; or
(b) if the SPF civil penalty order was for a contravention of a civil penalty provision of an SPF code for a regulated sector—the SPF sector regulator for the sector.
