AI Summary of 75. Application to Court to direct relevant person to cease prohibited gambling activity and related matters
The Authority may apply to the High Court where it reasonably believes a person is providing or advertising a gambling activity in contravention of Chapter 1. The Court may order the person to cease the prohibited gambling activity and grant ancillary orders including blocking online access via internet service providers or app stores; prohibiting banks from receiving or making payments without leave; restraining disposal, reduction or removal of assets; ordering refunds of relevant payments; and requiring surrender of gambling products.
The Court may make other appropriate orders, require banks to furnish financial information, and compel affidavits from individuals, officers or beneficial owners. It may order disclosure of assets held on behalf of a relevant person, vary orders to permit reasonable living, legal or business expenses, and discharge orders where the activity has ceased or the basis no longer applies. Hearings are public unless special circumstances; the Authority may seek urgent ex parte temporary orders; no undertaking as to damages may be required. "Bank" and "Court" are defined.
