Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

The High Court can stop someone from doing something that breaks the rules in section 106. You can think of section 106 as a set of rules that network operators must follow. If someone tries to break these rules, the High Court can step in. The High Court can do this if a network operator asks them to, and if someone is doing something that breaks the rules, like trying to get around them or helping someone else break them. The High Court has the power to change or cancel its decision at any time, which means it can adjust what it has decided or get rid of the decision altogether.
