83: Chief executive's undertaking as to damages not required

You could also call this:

"Court can't ask government boss to pay for damages when stopping something temporarily"

If the chief executive asks a court for a temporary injunction under this part of the law, the court can't make the chief executive promise to pay for any damages. This is different from what usually happens. The court isn't allowed to think about the fact that the chief executive doesn't have to make this promise when it's deciding whether to give the temporary injunction or not.
