#### 155 Declarations of contravention
(1) If, on application under section 154, the Federal Court is satisfied that a private health insurer has contravened an enforceable obligation, it must make a declaration of contravention.
> Note: For relief from liability, see section 166.
(2) The declaration must specify:
(a) the enforceable obligation that was contravened; and
(b) the private health insurer that contravened the obligation; and
(c) the conduct that constituted the contravention; and
(d) if the Federal Court is satisfied that an officer of the private health insurer failed to take reasonable steps to prevent the insurer contravening the obligation—the officer.
(3) The declaration is conclusive evidence of the matters mentioned in subsection (2).
