126 Enforcement of obligations
(1) This section applies if, on the application of a person, a court of
competent jurisdiction is satisfied that a private port operator or
private pilotage provider has engaged, is engaging, or proposes to
engage in conduct constituting a contravention of section 124(1)
or 125(1).
(2) The court may make all or any of the following orders:
(a) an order granting an injunction, on terms the court considers
appropriate:
(i) restraining the private port operator or private pilotage
provider from engaging in the conduct; or
(ii) if the conduct involves failing to do something – requiring
the private port operator or private pilotage provider to
do the thing;
(b) an order directing the private port operator or private pilotage
provider to compensate a person for loss or damage suffered
by the person because of the contravention;
(c) another order the court considers appropriate.
(3) If the court has power under subsection (2)(a) to make an order
against a private port operator or private pilotage provider, it may
make any other order (including granting an injunction) it considers
appropriate against any other person involved in the contravention
concerned.
