44 Simplified outline of this Part
If section 16 is contravened in relation to a major sporting event, official users have the following remedies:
(a) injunctions;
(b) damages or an account of profits.
An authorised person may only seek a remedy with the consent of the person who gave the relevant authorisation.
The authorising body for the event may apply for an order requiring a person to publish a corrective advertisement.
Generally, the remedies under this Part are in addition to remedies available under other Commonwealth, State and Territory laws. However, if an official user has brought an action for damages or an account of profits under certain State or Territory laws, the official user may be prevented from bringing or continuing such an action under this Act.
