(b)accepts an undertaking from the respondent under section 156 or 159 on the making of the original application.

(2)References in this Part to a “consumer protection order” are references to—

(a)an enforcement order,

(b)an interim enforcement order,

(c)an online interface order, or

(3)An application may (subject to subsection (7)) be made to the same court to which the original application was made in respect of a failure to comply with the order or undertaking in question—

(a)by the enforcer that made the original application, or

(b)by any other enforcer other than a private designated enforcer.

(4)An application to the court in respect of a failure to comply with an undertaking may include an application for a consumer protection order of any kind that the enforcer concerned is authorised under this Chapter to apply for.

(5)If on an application under this section the court finds that an undertaking is not being complied with, the court may do either or both of the following—

(c)a power of the court to accept an undertaking instead of making a consumer protection order does not apply,

and the preceding provisions of this Chapter apply subject to this subsection.
