A person commits an offence if that person carries out work in relation to an EIA forestry project in contravention of a requirement to discontinue that work in an enforcement notice served upon that person pursuant to paragraph 3(2)(b) of schedule 4.

A person commits an offence if that person fails to carry out any measure required by an enforcement notice, pursuant to paragraph 3(2)(a), (c) or (d) of schedule 4, within the time period which is specified in that notice, pursuant to paragraph 3(3) of that schedule.

A person who commits an offence under paragraph (3) is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale.

No act or omission of the Crown constitutes an offence under this regulation.

The Court of Session may, on the application of the Commissioners, the Scottish Ministers, the chief constable or any other public body or office-holder having responsibility for enforcing these Regulations, declare unlawful any act or omission of the Crown which would, but for paragraph (5) be an offence under this regulation.

Despite paragraph (5), this regulation applies to a person in the public service of the Crown as it applies to other persons.
