        (e)     to require a person, body or relevant entity to institute training programmes for persons employed or engaged by the person, body or relevant entity.

    (3)     The power of the Court to grant an injunction under subsection (1) may be exercised whether or not—

        (b)     if the Authority has applied for an order or declaration under section 5.8.19 , the Court has made an order or declaration under that section.
