s 5 Orders of court

5.—(1) A court may make one or more of the following orders if the court is satisfied on a balance of probabilities that a claim under section 4 by a respondent’s neighbour has been made out against the respondent, and is satisfied that it is just and equitable to do so:(a) an order for damages; (b) an order granting an injunction; (c) an order for specific performance; (d) an order that the respondent provide an apology to the neighbour, in such form or manner as the court thinks fit; (da) any other order that the court may make under this Act;[Act 43 of 2024 wef 24/03/2025] (e) any ancillary order as may be necessary to give effect to any of the court’s orders. (2) In deciding whether it is just and equitable for any order to be made under subsection (1), the court is to consider all the following matters:(a) the impact of the order, if made, on —(i) the respondent; (ii) any individual who, at the time of the making of the order, resides in the same place of residence as the respondent; and (iii) any other person who can reasonably be expected to be affected by the order; (b) the ordinary instances of daily living that can be expected to be tolerated by reasonable persons living in Singapore; (c) any other matters as the court deems fit. (3) To avoid doubt, an order made under this section by the consent of the parties or in the absence of a party, in accordance with Rules of Court made under section 32, has the same force and effect as if the order were made by the court under this section after a hearing by the court.[Act 43 of 2024 wef 24/03/2025]
