If, on an application made by the Director General, the court is satisfied—
a
that there is a reasonable likelihood that a person will contravene a condition in a licence granted under section 5 or 6,
b
that a person has contravened such a condition and there is a reasonable likelihood that the contravention will continue or be repeated, or
c
that a person has contravened such a condition and there are steps that could be taken for remedying the contravention,
the court may grant an injunction restraining the contravention or, in Scotland, an interdict prohibiting the contravention or (as the case may be) make an order requiring the licensee, and any other person who appears to the court to have been party to the contravention, to take such steps as the court may direct to remedy it.

In subsection (1) “the court” means the High Court or, in Scotland, the Court of Session.

Where a sum is due to be paid to the National Lottery Distribution Fund by virtue of section 5(6)—
a
the sum shall be recoverable by the Secretary of State as a debt due to the Fund, and

the licensee’s liability to pay shall not be affected by his licence ceasing to have effect.
