81: Order to disclose information or publish advertisement

You could also call this:

"When someone breaks the rules, a court can order them to tell others what they did wrong."

Illustration for Retirement Villages Act 2003

You can go to court if someone breaks the rules in sections 18(3), 25, or 26 of the Retirement Villages Act. The court can make them tell the public or a particular person about what they did. They have to pay for this themselves. The court can also make them publish a statement to fix what they did wrong. They have to pay for this too and do it how the court says. When the court says 'applicable information', it means information the person has or can get.
