Regulation 14 Notice to OFT of intended prosecution
(1)
Where an enforcement authority is a local weights and measures authority in England and Wales it may bring proceedings for an offence under regulation 6 only if—
(a)
it has notified the OFT of its intention to bring proceedings at least fourteen days before the date on which proceedings are brought; or
(b)
the OFT consents to proceedings being brought in a shorter period.
(2)
The enforcement authority must also notify the OFT of the outcome of the proceedings after they are finally determined.
(3)
Such proceedings are not invalid by reason only of the failure to comply with this regulation.
