Regulation 20 Powers of inspectors in case of default

If any person fails to comply with a requirement of these Regulations or of a declaration, licence or notice under them, an inspector may take such steps he or she considers necessary to ensure the requirement is met (including seizing and detaining any thing).

In taking steps under this regulation, an inspector may direct any person to take or refrain from specified action in respect of any premises, animal, bird, vehicle or other thing.

Any steps taken under this article are without prejudice to proceedings for an offence arising out of the default.

The person in default must reimburse any reasonable expenses incurred by the National Assembly or the local authority in taking such steps and such expenses are recoverable summarily.
