ii

in the presence of another person who is aged 18 or over,

c

at the time of the handing over, A knows that tobacco or cigarette papers or nicotine products (whichever is the case) are being handed over, and

d

when handed over, the tobacco, cigarette papers or nicotine products are not contained in a package that—

i

ii

has an address on it, for the purpose of its delivery to that address in accordance with arrangements within section 53.

2

3

A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale.

4

Where a person (“the accused”) is charged with an offence under this section by reason of the accused's own conduct (and otherwise than by virtue of section 44 of the Magistrates' Courts Act 1980 (c.43) (aiders and abettors)) it is a defence for the accused to show—

a

that the accused believed, when the handing over took place, that the person to whom the tobacco, cigarette papers or nicotine products were handed over, or another person present at the time of the handing over, was aged 18 or over, and

b

either—

i

that the accused had taken reasonable steps to establish the age of that person, or

ii

that nobody could reasonably have suspected from that person's appearance that the person was aged under 18.

5

For the purposes of subsection (4)(b), the accused is to be treated as having taken reasonable steps to establish the age of a person if—

a

the accused asked that person for evidence of that person's age, and

b

the evidence would have convinced a reasonable person.

6

Where a person is charged with an offence under this section by reason of the act or default of another person, or by virtue of the application of section 44 of the Magistrates' Courts Act 1980 (c.43) (aiders and abettors), it is a defence to show that the person took reasonable precautions and exercised due diligence to avoid committing the offence.

3

54Enforcement
