Article 11 General powers

If any person moves any animal or thing in contravention of a licence or notice issued under this Order, the Secretary of State or an inspector of the local authority may, without prejudice to any proceedings for an offence arising out of such contravention, serve a notice on the person in charge of that animal or thing, requiring him to move it in accordance with the requirements of the notice.

If any person on whom a notice has been served under article 9 fails to comply with the requirements of that notice, the Secretary of State or an inspector of the local authority may, without prejudice to any proceedings arising out of such default, carry out or cause to be carried out, the cleansing and disinfection required by the notice.

Any expenses reasonably incurred by the Secretary of State or inspector of the local authority in the exercise of the powers under paragraphs (1) or (2) shall be recoverable as a civil debt by the Secretary of State or the local authority, from the person in default.
