RACE DISCRIMINATION ORDINANCE
Ord. No. 29 of 2008
A1321


(2) A person is entitled, on payment of a reasonable fee, if any, as may be determined by the Commission—

(a) to inspect the register during ordinary office hours and take copies of any entry; or
(b) to obtain from the Commission a copy, certified by the Commission to be correct, of any entry in the register.

(3) The Commission may, if it thinks fit, determine that the right conferred by subsection (2)(a) is exercisable in relation to a copy of the register, instead of, or in addition to, the original.

(4) The Commission shall give general notice of the place or places where, and the times when, the register or a copy of it may be inspected.

Other enforcement by Commission

75. Persistent discrimination, harassment or vilification

If, during the period of 5 years beginning on the date on which either of the following became final in the case of any person, namely—

(a) an enforcement notice served on the person;
(b) a finding by the District Court that the person has done—
(i) an unlawful discriminatory act;
(ii) an unlawful act of harassment; or
(iii) an act contravening section 45,

it appears to the Commission that unless restrained the person is likely to do one or more acts falling within paragraph (b), or contravening section 41, the Commission may apply to the District Court for an injunction restraining the person from doing so; and the District Court, if satisfied that the application is well-founded, may grant the injunction in the terms applied for or in more limited terms.

76. Enforcement of sections 42, 43 and 44

(1) Proceedings in respect of a contravention of section 42, 43 or 44 may be brought only by the Commission and in accordance with this section.

(2) The proceedings must be—

(a) an application for a decision whether the alleged contravention occurred; or
(b) an application under subsection (4),

or both.

(3) An application under subsection (2)(a) must be made to the District Court.
