30Defence or stay of proceeding instead of prohibition

30 Defence or stay of proceeding instead of prohibition order or injunction (1) A proceeding in the court must not be restrained by a prohibition order or injunction. (2) A defence is available in a proceeding in the court if an injunction would previously have been available in a pre-Judicature Act proceeding of the same kind. (3) However, this section does not prevent the court from ordering a stay in a proceeding in the court. (4) The court may grant a stay in a proceeding in the court on application by an entitled person. (5) In this section: entitled person, in relation to a proceeding in the court, means a person (whether or not the person is a party to the proceeding) who would have been entitled, in relation to a pre-Judicature Act proceeding of the same kind— (a) to apply to a court to restrain the prosecution of the proceeding; or (b) to enforce any order or rule in contravention of which all or part of the proceeding had been taken.
