Any contribution leviable by virtue of a scheme in force under this Part of this Act shall be recoverable as a debt by and from the persons by and from whom the contribution is made leviable by virtue of the scheme.
(1)Any person who contravenes or fails to comply with any provision of, or having effect under, a scheme under this Part of this Act, not being a provision for the levying of contributions, shall, if the scheme provides that a contravention of, or a failure to comply with that provision is to be deemed to be an offence, be liable on summary conviction, in the case of a first offence to a fine not exceeding £5 and, in the case of a second or subsequent offence, to a fine not exceeding £20, and, in either case, to forfeit any herring or herring products in relation to which the offence is committed, or to an additional fine not exceeding the value thereof.
(2)In Scotland the court by which a fine is imposed for an offence under this Part of this Act may, if the court thinks fit, having regard to the prejudicial effect which the commission of the offence has had, or is likely to have, on the operation of a scheme in force under this Part of this Act, direct that the whole or any part of the fine be paid to the Board.
(3)Subsections (1) and (2) above shall have effect in addition to and not in derogation of any provision which may be made by a scheme for the enforcement, otherwise than by way of fine, forfeiture of goods or money or imprisonment, of any provision of, or having effect under, a scheme in force under this Part of this Act, not being a provision for the levying of contributions.
Any person who publishes or discloses any information obtained by him in the exercise of any power conferred by or under this Part of this Act, otherwise than for the purpose of the proper discharge of a duty in that behalf or to the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food or the Secretary of State, shall be liable—
(a)on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or a fine not exceeding £100, or to both;
