Paragraph 5 Service of final noticeI1

If the person who has received a notice of intent does not discharge liability within 28 days the regulator may serve a final notice (“final notice”) imposing a fixed monetary penalty.

The regulator must not serve a final notice on a person where the regulator is satisfied that the person would not, by reason of any defence, be liable to be convicted of the offence to which the notice relates.

The regulator who serves a final notice relating to a fixed monetary penalty must not serve any other notice under these Regulations in relation to the offence.
