BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY (IMPROVING PRODUCTIVITY) ACT 2016 (NO. 87, 2016) - SECT 80

Simplified outline of this Chapter

An authorised applicant (who may be an inspector or a person affected by a contravention of a civil remedy provision) may apply to certain courts for an order relating to the contravention. A court may make any order, such as imposing a pecuniary penalty on a person or granting an injunction. This Chapter also includes general rules relating to contraventions of civil remedy provisions (such as who bears burdens of proof, double jeopardy, and the treatment of persons and bodies that are not individuals).

The ABC Commissioner can accept an enforceable undertaking if the Commissioner reasonably believes that a person has contravened a civil remedy provision. The enforceable undertaking can be enforced by certain courts. An inspector can also give a compliance notice requiring a person who the inspector reasonably believes has contravened a civil remedy provision to rectify the contravention. Certain courts can review the compliance notice.
