# The Costs Protection (Aarhus Convention) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2013, Regulation 5: Injunctions


If in an Aarhus Convention case the court is satisfied that an injunction is necessary to prevent significant environmental damage and to preserve the factual basis of the proceedings, the court shall, in considering both whether to require an undertaking by the applicant to pay any damages which the respondent or any other person may sustain as a result and the terms of any such undertaking—
(a) have particular regard to the need for the terms of the order overall not to be such as would make continuing with the case prohibitively expensive for the applicant; and
(b) make such directions as are necessary to ensure that the case is heard at the earliest opportunity.
