All three statutory conditions for granting PDOs under BO s24B were satisfied on the evidence: proper notice was given, the signboards were unauthorised works in contravention of BO s14, and expert evidence established they posed an imminent danger and were being let for profit; the respondent failed to produce evidence to rebut the BA and its purported representative lacked authority to act for the company, therefore the court exercised its discretion to grant PDOs as sought.
