Article 9 Powers of officers of the National Assembly for Wales, the Secretary of State and inspectors of local authorities in case of default

If any person to whom a licence, authority, permit or notice issued or served under this Order applies fails to comply with the requirements of that licence, authority, permit or notice, an officer of the National Assembly for Wales, the Secretary of State or an inspector of a local authority may, without prejudice to any proceedings for an offence arising out of such default, take all steps as may be necessary to ensure that the requirements of the licence, authority, permit or notice are complied with and in default of such compliance the officer or inspector will cause them to be carried out.

The amount of any expenses reasonably incurred by an officer of the National Assembly for Wales, the Secretary of State or by an inspector of a local authority in the exercise of any power conferred by paragraph (1) shall be recoverable on demand as a civil debt by the National Assembly for Wales, the Secretary of State or by the local authority, as the case may be, from the person in default.
