Paragraph 1 Imposition of a compliance notice

The Secretary of State may by notice (“a compliance notice”) impose on any person, in relation to a failure to comply with any provision referred to in regulation 8(1), a requirement to take such steps as the Secretary of State may specify, within such periods as may be specified, to secure that the non-compliance does not continue or recur.

Before doing so, the Secretary of State must be satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that a person has failed to comply with the provision.

A compliance notice may not be imposed on more than one occasion in relation to the same act or omission.
