Article 8 Payment of fees

Any fee charged under this Order must be paid on demand to the MMO.

Payment of any fee may be made by electronic means.

Payment of a fee is not to be taken to be received until the MMO has received cleared funds for the full amount.

The MMO may require a fee charged under article 4(1) or 5(1) to be payable in advance of the activity to which it relates being carried out.

The amount of any unpaid fee may be recovered by the MMO as a civil debt (in addition to any action taken by the MMO under paragraph (6) or (7).

If the holder of a licence fails without reasonable cause to comply with a requirement to pay a fee charged under article 4(1) or a deposit payable under article 6(1) on account of that fee within 28 days of a demand being made, the MMO may by notice vary, suspend or revoke the licence.

If a holder of a licence who makes an application for the variation of a licence under section 72(3) of the 2009 Act, or an application under section 72(7) of that Act, fails to comply with a requirement to pay a fee charged under article 5(1) or a deposit payable under article 7(1) on account of that fee, the MMO may refuse to proceed with the application until the fee is paid in full.
