147: Application for compliance order

You could also call this:

"Asking a court to make someone follow the animal products rules"

The Director-General can apply to the District Court for a compliance order, which is a kind of order talked about in section 146. You make this application by starting a new case. When you apply to the District Court, the court's normal rules apply, but some of these rules can be changed by sections 148 to 156 and by rules made under section 157, or by rules made under section 228 of the District Court Act 2016.
