(1) This section applies where the power to make regulations in section 13 has been or is being exercised so as to create an offence.

(2) Regulations may make provision, in relation to an enforcement authority, which could be made by an order under Part 3 of the Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Act 2008 (“RESA 2008”) as if, for the purposes of Part 3 of that Act–

(a) the enforcement authority were a regulator, and

(b) the offence were a relevant offence in relation to that regulator.

(3) But section 49(1) of RESA 2008 is modified in its application to offences created by the regulations so that the reference to “£20,000” is to be read as a reference to “level 5 on the standard scale”.

(4) Sections 63 to 69 of RESA 2008 apply to provision made under or by virtue of regulations under section 13 as they apply to provision made under or by virtue of Part 3 of RESA 2008.

(5) For the purposes of subsection (4), the references to a “regulator” in sections 63 to 69 of RESA 2008 are to be read as references to an enforcement authority.
