You could also call this:

“This law doesn't stop you from getting other kinds of help if someone breaks the rules”

This law says that sections 58 and 59 don’t stop you from getting other kinds of help if someone breaks the rules mentioned in section 58. You can still try to fix the problem or get compensation for any harm that has happened or might happen because of the rule-breaking. It also means that the chief executive, courts, and the Disputes Tribunal can still use their powers to deal with the rule-breaking in other ways.
