92. Appointment of Monitoring Trustee 
The Authority may appoint an independent Monitoring Trustee to oversee 
implementation of the order and ensure ongoing compliance. The costs of 
such monitoring shall be borne by the respondent or infringing Party, unless 
otherwise directed. 
 
93. Duration, Review, and Modification of Orders 
(1) Orders may be of fixed or indefinite duration, as specified therein. 
(2) A respondent may apply for modification, suspension, or termination of an 
order after a reasonable period, demonstrating that compliance has been 
achieved or that competitive conditions have materially changed. 
(3) The Authority may on its own, review, revise, or extend orders if the original 
remedy proves ineffective or if violations persist. 
 
94. Enforcement and Penalties 
Failure to comply with a Cease and Desist Order or any remedial action 
constitutes a separate and continuing offence, and may attract administrative 
penalties under Part XVII of these Regulation, including fines, licence 
suspension, or other enforcement measures. 
 
 
95. Publication of Orders 
Final Cease and Desist Orders, and summaries of remedial measures, shall be 
published on the website of the Authority, excluding commercially confidential 
information. Interim orders may be withheld from publication where immediate 
publication could undermine market stability or investigative integrity. 
 
96. Interface with Other Agencies 
The Authority may refer matters to the Federal Competition and Consumer 
Protection Commission or the Office of the Attorney General for further 
enforcement, especially where the conduct constitutes a criminal violation 
under the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act or other 
legislation. The Authority may also seek court enforcement of its orders or 
compliance injunctions where necessary.
