Rule 7.29 Punishment of offences
Schedule 4 has effect with respect to the way in which contraventions of the Rules are punishable on conviction.
In that Schedule -
the first column specifies the provision of the Rules which creates an offence;
in relation to each such offence, the second column describes the general nature of the offence;
the third column indicates its mode of trial, that is to say whether the offence is punishable on conviction on indictment, or on summary conviction, or either in the one way or the other;
the fourth column shows the maximum punishment by way of fine or imprisonment which may be imposed on a person convicted of the offence in the mode of trial specified in relation to it in the third column (that is to say, on indictment or summarily), a reference to a period of years or months being to a maximum term of imprisonment of that duration; and
the fifth column shows (in relation to an offence for which there)s an entry in that column) that a person convicted of the offence after continued contravention is liable to a daily default fine; that is to say, he is liable on a second or subsequent conviction of the offence to the fine specified in that column for each day on which the contravention is continued (instead of the penalty specified for the offence in the fourth column of that Schedule).
Section 431 (summary proceedings), as it applies to Scotland, has effect in relation to offences under the Rules as to offences under the Act.
