# The Electricity and Gas (Market Integrity and Transparency) (Enforcement etc.) Regulations 2013, Regulation 50: Jurisdiction and procedure in respect of offences


(1) A fine imposed on an unincorporated association on its conviction of an offence is to be paid out of the funds of the association.

(5) In England and Wales, summary proceedings for an offence may be taken—
(a) against a body corporate or unincorporated association at any place at which it has a place of business;
(b) against an individual at any place where the individual is for the time being.
(6) In this regulation, “offence” means an offence under these Regulations.
