"What happens if Chorus breaks the rules about supplying telecommunications services"

Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

If you are Chorus, or a related party of Chorus, you must not supply a telecommunications service in a way that breaks sections 69O and 69S. You need a reasonable excuse to do this, or sections 69V and 156B will apply to you. These sections are about injunctions and enforcement actions, which are like rules to make sure you follow the law.

If you break the rules without a good reason, you might face consequences, like being stopped from doing something or being taken to court. The law is in place to make sure everyone follows the rules, including Chorus and its related parties. You can find more information about these rules in sections 69O, 69S, 69V, and 156B, and also in section 36 of another law.
