Section 95 Variable monetary penaltiesI1I2
The appropriate licensing authority for any area may by order make provision to confer on the appropriate enforcement authority for that area the power by notice to impose on a person in relation to an offence under this Part a variable monetary penalty.
Provision under this section may only confer such a power in relation to a case where the enforcement authority is satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that the person has committed the offence.
For the purposes of this Part a “variable monetary penalty” is a penalty of such amount as the enforcement authority may in each case determine.
