60: Offences relating to suspension and termination orders

You could also call this:

“Breaking rules about stopping or ending someone's work in the electricity industry is against the law”

If you are an industry participant, you must follow suspension orders, termination orders, and any directions or arrangements made by the Rulings Panel about these orders. If you don’t, you are breaking the law. This is called an offence. If you are found guilty of this offence, you might have to pay a fine of up to $20,000.
