# The Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Regulations 1992, Regulation 67: Suspension notices


(1) Where the enforcement authority has reasonable grounds for suspecting that regulation 8 or 12 above has been, is being or is likely to be contravened, the authority may serve a notice (“a suspension notice”) on the manufacturer, supplier, or user of the terminal equipment, connection-capable equipment or radio connection-capable equip-ment concerned or on the operator of any public telecommunication system to which such equipment is connected, prohibiting—
(a) that manufacturer, supplier or user from manufacturing, supplying, putting into service, connecting or permitting to remain connected to any public tele-communication system or using the equipment concerned as the case may require; or
(b) that operator from permitting—
(i) such equipment to remain connected to that system; or
(ii) the supply of telecommunication services by means of that system to a person using such equipment,
for such period ending not more than six months after the date of the notice as is specified therein, without the consent of that authority.
(2) A suspension notice served by the enforcement authority in respect of any such equipment shall—
(a) describe the equipment to which it relates in a manner sufficient to identify it;
(b) set out the grounds on which the authority suspects that regulation 8 or 12 above has been, is being or is likely to be contravened, as the case may be; and
(c) state that, and the manner in which, the person on whom the notice is served may appeal against the notice under regulation 68 below.
(3) A consent given by the enforcement authority for the purposes of a suspension notice may impose such conditions on the doing of anything for which the consent is required as that authority considers appropriate.
(4) A suspension notice may require the person on whom it is served to keep the enforcement authority which served the notice informed of the whereabouts throughout the period during which the notice has effect of any of the equipment in which that person has an interest.
(5) Where a suspension notice has been served on any person in respect of equipment, no further such notice shall be served on that person in respect of the same equipment unless—
(a) proceedings against that person for an offence under regulation 70, 71 or 73 below; or
(b) proceedings for the forfeiture of the equipment under regulation 82 or 83 below,
are pending at the end of the period specified in the first-mentioned notice.
