Regulation 27 Recovery of expenses of enforcement
This regulation shall apply where a court—
convicts a person of an offence in respect of a contravention in relation to a product of any requirement imposed by or under these Regulations, or
makes an order under regulation 18 or 19 for the forfeiture of a product.
The court may (in addition to any other order it may make as to costs or expenses) order the person convicted or, as the case may be, any person having an interest in the product to reimburse an enforcement authority for any expenditure which has been or may be incurred by that authority—
in connection with any seizure or detention of the product by or on behalf of the authority, or
in connection with any compliance by the authority with directions given by the court for the purposes of any order for the forfeiture of the product.
