(2)

If a harbour work is constructed, executed, renewed, replaced or altered in contravention of this article–

(a)

the Scottish Ministers may by notice in writing require the Company at its own expense to remove the harbour work or any part thereof and restore the site thereof to its former condition, and if, on the expiration of 30 days from the date when the notice is served upon the Company it has failed to comply with the requirements of the notice, the Scottish Ministers may execute the works specified in the notice; or

(b)

if it appears to the Scottish Ministers urgently necessary to do so, they may themselves remove the harbour work or part of it and restore the site to its former condition,

and any expenditure incurred by the Scottish Ministers in so doing shall be recoverable from the Company as a debt.
