This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it
to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.
Customer and Product Data Bill
Regulatory and enforcement matters - Duties to take remedial action
61: Other remedies or powers not limited
You could also call this:
“Other ways to deal with rule-breakers are still allowed”
This proposed law says that if someone breaks the rules in this bill, there are still other ways to deal with it. The bill mentions two specific sections (59 and 60) that talk about what can happen if someone doesn’t follow the rules. But this new part says those two sections don’t stop other things from happening too.
If you’ve been hurt or might get hurt because someone didn’t follow the rules, you can still try to get help in other ways, not just the ones mentioned in section 59. Also, the people in charge (like the chief executive) or the courts can still use their powers to deal with rule-breakers in other ways.
This means that even though the bill has some specific ways to handle problems, it’s not limiting other options that might already exist or that other laws allow.
any other remedy that a person may obtain for the loss or damage that has been, or is likely to be, suffered because of the contravention referred to in section 59; or
the powers of the chief executive or a court in respect of the contravention.
