Section 19 Daily penaltiesI1
United Kingdom
This section applies if a penalty notice is given to a person in respect of a contravention of a requirement imposed by a compliance notice or restriction notice.
The penalty notice may, in addition to requiring the person to pay a non-compliance penalty, require the person to pay daily penalties to the Security Industry Authority.
A “daily penalty” is a specified amount that must be paid, within a specified period, for each day on which the contravention continues after the end of the period specified for payment of the non-compliance penalty.
In subsection (3) “specified” means specified in the penalty notice.
The amount of each daily penalty must not exceed—
if the contravention relates to standard duty premises, £500;
if the contravention relates to enhanced duty premises or a qualifying event, £50,000.
The Secretary of State may by regulations amend subsection (5)(a) or (b) so as to substitute a different figure for the figure for the time being specified.
