A demand must specify that it is made under section 372(4)(a) of the Act.

(4)

A demand must state the amount of the debt, to whom it is owed and the consideration for it or, if there is no consideration, the way in which it arises; but if the person to whom the debt is owed holds any security in respect of the debt of which the Authority is aware—

(a)

the demand must specify the nature of the security and the value which the Authority puts upon it as at the date of the demand; and
