Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017

Contracts legislation - Illegal contracts - Court may grant relief

77: Order may be subject to terms and conditions

You could also call this:

“The court can add rules when it helps someone in a contract”

The court can decide to give relief to someone involved in a contract. When the court does this, they can add terms and conditions to their decision. This means the court can set rules or requirements that must be followed when they grant relief. You can think of it like when your parents allow you to do something, but they might say you have to do your homework first or be home by a certain time. The court can add similar conditions to their decision to make sure everything is fair and works properly.
