Equality Act 2006 Explanatory Notes

Section 24: Applications to court

86.Section 24 gives the CEHR the power to apply for an injunction (and an interdict in Scotland) against a person who it believes that, unless restrained, is likely to commit an unlawful act. It also provides for the CEHR to apply to a court when the other party to an agreement provided for in section 23 has failed to comply, or the CEHR thinks is unlikely to comply, with an undertaking under the agreement. The court can order the other party to comply with his undertaking and take any such other action as the court may specify.
