The Authority may make an ex parte application to the High Court for a temporary order where there is an urgent need to protect the public from the serious consequences of an ongoing contravention by a licence-holder or to protect funds in a Segregated Customer Account. On such an application the Court may, if satisfied there is an urgent need, suspend a gambling licence with immediate effect; direct a licence-holder to cease providing a relevant gambling activity, product or related service; require an internet service provider or online application store to block access; restrain banks from receiving or making payments into or out of a licence-holder’s account without leave; restrain disposal or removal of assets; prevent reduction of assets below a specified value; or require lodgement to the appropriate Segregated Customer Account.

Where section 109 applies and the Authority has serious concerns about an applicant it may apply ex parte for suspension and the Court may suspend where there are good and substantial reasons. The Court may make other appropriate orders, order banks to furnish financial information, require individuals, officers or beneficial owners to swear affidavits disclosing assets, and compel disclosure by persons holding assets on behalf of a licence-holder. Persons affected may apply for orders to permit reasonable living, legal or business expenses; the Court may discharge orders if their basis ceases; the Court may not require the Authority to give an undertaking as to damages; hearings are public unless special circumstances justify otherwise; the Court may direct publication of advertising-related orders. "Bank" includes a regulated financial service provider or a bank outside the State; "Court" means the High Court.
