a person convicted of the offence after continued contravention is liable to a daily default fine which shall be one-fiftieth of the statutory maximum; that is to say, that person is liable on a second or subsequent conviction of the offence to this amount for each day on which the contravention is continued instead of the penalty specified for the offence in sub-paragraph (b).
