Regulation 45 Compliance with enforcement order

An aid grantor must comply with an enforcement order that is sent to the aid grantor.

If an aid grantor does not comply with an enforcement order by the compliance date, the CMA must certify in writing to the court that the aid grantor has failed to comply with the order.

However, the CMA must not certify that an aid grantor has failed to comply with an order if the CMA considers that it is impossible for the aid grantor to comply with the order.

If a failure to comply is certified under paragraph (2), the court may inquire into the matter and, after hearing any witness who may be produced against or on behalf of the aid grantor, and after hearing any statement that may be offered in defence, deal with the aid grantor as if it had committed a contempt of court.
