3

After paragraph (3) of regulation 22 (appeals against hygiene improvement notices and remedial action notices), as new paragraph (4) add the following—

Where on appeal against a remedial action notice under paragraph (1) a court cancels the notice, the enforcement authority must compensate the food business operator who brought the appeal in respect of any loss suffered by reason of the food business operator’s compliance with the notice, and any disputed question as to the right to or the amount of any compensation payable under this paragraph will be determined by arbitration.

1

These Regulations amend the Food Hygiene (Wales) Regulations 2006 (S.I.2006/31 (W.5), as already amended) so as to—

a

permit the service of a remedial action notice in relation to an establishment not subject to approval under European food hygiene legislation (regulation 2(2)); and

b

provide for compensation to be payable where a food business operator suffers loss by complying with a remedial action notice which, on appeal to the court, is subsequently cancelled (regulation 2(3)).

2

The Welsh Ministers' Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, a regulatory impact assessment has been prepared as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations. A copy can be obtained from the Food Standards Agency, 11th Floor, Southgate House, Cardiff CF10 1EW.
