Article 19 Provisions against danger to navigation

In the case of injury to, or destruction or decay of, a tidal work or any part thereof the Council shall as soon as reasonably practicable notify Trinity House and shall lay down such buoys, exhibit such lights and take such other steps for preventing danger to navigation as Trinity House may from time to time direct.

If the Council fails to notify Trinity House as required by paragraph (1) or to comply with any requirement of a direction under it, the Council shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale.
