8  Injunctions
 (1) In this section, Court means:
 (a) the High Court; or
 (b) the Federal Court of Australia.
 (2) Where:
 (a) there is in force an order made by the Attorney‑General under section 7 that prohibits the doing of a specified act or thing in relation to a specified document, or in relation to documents included in a specified class of documents; and
 (b) the Court is satisfied, on application by the Attorney‑General, that there are reasonable grounds for believing that the person having possession or control of the specified document or of a document included in the specified class of documents, as the case may be, might contravene the order referred to in paragraph (a);
the Court may grant an injunction restraining that person from dealing with that document in a manner specified in the injunction, or restraining that person from dealing with that document except in a manner specified in the injunction.
 (3) Where in the opinion of the Court it is appropriate to do so, the Court may, instead of granting an injunction under subsection (2) in relation to the manner in which a person may deal with a document, accept from the person an undertaking in relation to the manner in which that person will deal with the document, but the acceptance by the Court of an undertaking in relation to the manner in which a person will deal with a document does not prevent the Court from subsequently granting an injunction under subsection (2) in relation to the manner in which that person may deal with that document.
 (4) The Attorney‑General shall not make an application for the purposes of this section to the Federal Court of Australia in relation to any matter that has been the subject of proceedings in the High Court.
