Changes and effects yet to be applied to Regulation 13:

Application to the court by Secretary of State

13.—(1) Subject to paragraph (3) below, where an applicant carries out relevant pipe-line works in breach of a condition of the kind referred to in regulation 12(1)(b) above the court may, on the application of the Secretary of State, make an order restraining the applicant from proceeding or continuing with the works or compelling him to the performance of any act required of him by any such condition.

(2) The court may, in addition to making such an order as is mentioned in paragraph (1) above, make an order requiring—

(a)the removal, so far as is practicable in all the circumstances, of any pipe-lines, structures or other things placed in land as a result of the carrying out of any relevant pipe-line works;

(b)where it so orders such removal, the reinstatement of the site where the works had been carried out.

(3) The court shall not make an order under this regulation in respect of a breach of any condition of the kind referred to in regulation 12(1)(b) above where it is satisfied that—

(a)the breach in question was due to circumstances beyond the control of the applicant and the breach could not reasonably have been prevented by him; or

(b)the breach occurred as a result of anything required to be done as a matter of urgency for the purposes of securing the safety of any person.

(4) Where the applicant fails to comply with an order made pursuant to paragraph (2) above within such time as may be specified in it or, in default of such specification, within a reasonable time of the making of the order, the Secretary of State may himself take the action required by the order and the reasonable costs and expenses of doing so shall be recoverable as a debt from the applicant.

(5) Where the Secretary of State takes action in accordance with paragraph (4) above, that action shall be without prejudice to any consequences which may flow from the applicant’s failure to comply with the order.
