Part 3: Enforcement of consumer protection law Online interface orders and interim online interface orders Section 161: Online interface orders
This section gives the court a discretionary power to make an online interface order, in response to an application from a public designated enforcer under section 160, where the conditions set out in subsection (1) are met. The court must have found that there is, has been or is likely to be a relevant infringement, that there are no other available means under Chapter 3 of Part 3 of the Act which would be wholly effective by themselves to stop or prohibit the infringement and it is necessary to make an order to avoid the risk of serious harm to the collective interests of consumers.
	Subsection (2) lists what a person can be required to do through an online interface order, including displaying warnings to consumers or removing infringing content from an online interface. The meaning of an "online interface" is given by subsection (5) and includes websites and apps.
	Subsections (3) and (4) enable the public designated enforcer (that applied for the order) to publicise any online interface orders made by the court under this section and to identify the infringer, where known, in order to raise awareness of that enforcement intervention and stop any continuing effects of the infringing practice.
