Accordingly (but without prejudice to the generality of the preceding provision) the amount to be included from time to time in any reserves of the successor company as representing its accumulated realised profits shall be determined as if any profits realised and retained by the BAA had been realised and retained by the successor company.

6

References in this section to the statutory accounts of the successor company are references to any accounts prepared by the successor company for the purposes of any provision of the Companies Act 1985 (including group accounts).

any subsidy furnished (whether by the making of loans on non-commercial terms or otherwise) by any person or authority to the airport operator in connection with his business so far as consisting of the carrying on of operational activities relating to the airport, and the identity of any such person or authority,

ii

any subsidy so furnished to that business by the airport operator out of funds attributable to any other activities carried on by him,

iii

the aggregate income and expenditure of the airport operator attributable to the levying by him of airport charges at the airport,

Except with the agreement of the airport operator concerned, conditions imposed in pursuance of subsection (3) shall not be modified by the CAA otherwise than in pursuance of subsection (4).

7

The CAA may, if it thinks fit and after consultation with the airport operator concerned, determine, at any time during any period of five years for which conditions under subsection (3) are in force in accordance with the preceding provisions of this section, that that period shall be extended by such period (not exceeding twelve months) as may be specified in its determination; and in any such case any reference in this Part to that period shall be read as a reference to that period as extended by virtue of this subsection.

8

Where the CAA makes any such determination in the case of conditions providing for different limits to apply in relation to different periods of time, any limit applying in relation to the last of those periods shall apply also in relation to the additional period for which the conditions are to remain in force in accordance with the determination, unless the CAA and the airport operator concerned agree that some other limit shall apply instead.

9

Before imposing any conditions in pursuance of subsection (3), or making any modifications in pursuance of subsection (4), in relation to any airport, the CAA shall, unless the Secretary of State otherwise directs, make a reference to the Commission in respect of the airport under section 43(1).

10

The Secretary of State may by order under this section either designate particular airports for the purposes of this section or designate any class of airports for those purposes; and any such class may be framed by reference to annual turnover, as defined in the order, or by reference to any other matter whatever.

41 Discretionary conditions.1

The CAA may, if it thinks fit in the case of any airport which is not a designated airport, impose in relation to the airport such conditions as are mentioned in section 40(2), either at the time of granting a permission under this Part in respect of the airport or at any other time while it is in force.

2

Where, at the time of granting a permission under this Part in respect of an airport (whether a designated airport or not) or at any other time while such a permission is in force, it appears to the CAA that the airport operator is pursuing one of the courses of conduct specified in subsection (3), then (subject to subsection (6) and section 42) the CAA may, if it thinks fit, impose in relation to the airport such conditions as it considers appropriate for the purpose of remedying or preventing what it considers are the adverse effects of that course of conduct.

3

The courses of conduct referred to in subsection (2) are—

a

the adoption by the airport operator, in relation to any relevant activities carried on by him at the airport, of any trade practice, or any pricing policy, which unreasonably discriminates against any class of users of the airport or any particular user or which unfairly exploits his bargaining position relative to users of the airport generally;

b

the adoption by the airport operator, in relation to the granting of rights by virtue of which relevant activities may be carried on at the airport by any other person or persons, or any practice which—

i

unreasonably discriminates against persons granted any class of such rights, or any particular grantee of such a right, or unfairly exploits his bargaining position relative to the grantees of such rights generally, or

ii

unreasonably discriminates against any class of persons applying for such rights or any particular applicant, or unreasonably limits the number of such rights that are granted in the case of any particular services or facilities,

or which has resulted in the adoption by any other person of a practice that does any of those things;

c

the fixing by the airport operator of any charges levied by him at the airport in relation to any relevant activities carried on by him there at levels which—

i

are insufficient, even after taking into account such other revenues (if any) as are relevant to the fixing of such charges, to cover the costs of providing the services or facilities to which the charges relate or are, in the opinion of the CAA, artificially low, and

ii

materially harm (or are intended materially to harm) the business carried on by an airport operator at any other airport in the United Kingdom.

4

In subsection (3)(c)(i) the reference to levels at which charges are fixed being artificially low is a reference to such levels being significantly lower than they would otherwise have been—

a

by reason of any subsidy—

i

furnished by any person or authority to the airport operator in connection with his business so far as consisting of the carrying on of operational activities relating to the airport, or

ii

furnished to that business by the airport operator out of funds attributable to any other activities carried out by him,

whether by the making of loans on non-commercial terms or otherwise; or

b

where the airport operator is a company, by reason of any conduct on the part of the company which, in the opinion of the CAA, has resulted, or will result, in—

i

a failure by the company to achieve a reasonable return on the capital employed by it in carrying on operational activities relating to the airport, or

ii

a failure by the company to distribu te to members of the company a reasonable proportion of the profits available for distribution, or

iii

a failure by the company to reach a level of borrowing which is appropriate having regard to its equity share capital (within the meaning of the Companies Act 1985).

5

In determining for the purposes of subsection (4) what is reasonable or (as the case may be) appropriate in the case of a company, the CAA

a

shall disregard the fact that the relevant conduct on the part of the company was in conformity with any policy for the time being of a person having control over the company, but

b

shall have regard to any circumstances which, in the opinion of the CAA, would affect any company carrying on the business of operating the airport as a commercial undertaking.

6

Before imposing any conditions under subsection (2) in relation to an airport, the CAA shall notify the airport operator concerned of the course of conduct within subsection (3)(a), (b) or (c) which it appears to the CAA that he is pursuing and of the conditions which the CAA proposes to impose; and if, within such period as may be prescribed, the airport operator notifies the CAA that he objects to its proposals, the CAA

a

shall not proceed with the implementation of those proposals; but

b

May instead make a reference to the Commission in respect of the airport under section 43(3).

7

In this section “designated airport” means an airport for the time being designated for the purposes of section 40.

42 Discretionary conditions: supplementary provisions.1

Nothing in section 41(2) shall be read as authorising the CAA to impose under that provision—

a

any condition providing for any such overall limit as is mentioned in paragraph (a)(i) of section 40(5); or

b

any condition for regulating the maximum amount that may be levied by an airport operator by means of any particular category of charges levied by him at an airport if the same category of charges is for the time being subject to any limit or limits imposed in pursuance of paragraph (a)(ii) or (iii) of section 40(5).

2

The CAA shall, in determining—

a

whether an airport operator is pursuing a course of conduct within section 41(3)(a), or

b

(where it determines that an airport operator is pursuing such a course of conduct) whether, and (if so) what, conditions should be imposed by it under section 41(2) in relation to the airport in question,

take into account any advice given to it by the Secretary of State for the purposes of this subsection as to practices currently adopted at airports in countries or territories outside the United Kingdom.

3

Where the CAA receives from any operator of aircraft whose principal place of business is in any such country or territory any representations to the effect that the powers of the CAA under section 41(2) appear to be exercisable in relation to an airport on the grounds that the airport operator is pursuing a course of conduct within section 41(3)(a), the CAA shall notify those representations to the Secretary of State for the purpose of enabling him to determine whether to give any advice to the CAA for the purposes of subsection (2) above.

References to Commission
43 References to Commission in relation to imposition or modification of conditions.1

Where the CAA is, by virtue of section 40(9), required to make a reference to the Commission under this subsection in respect of any airport, that reference shall be so framed as to require the Commission to investigate and report on—

47 Charges to be paid by airport operators in respect of Commission’s expenses.1

The Secretary of State may, in accordance with the following provisions of this section, provide by regulations for annual charges to be payable by airport operators in respect of the expenses incurred by the Commission in carrying out investigations, and reporting, on references to which this subsection applies.

2

subsection (1) applies to any reference made to the Commission under section 43 other than a reference under subsection (1) of that section which relates to the first period of five years for which any such conditions as are mentioned in section 40(3) are to be in force in relation to a particular airport.

3

Any such regulations as are mentioned in subsection (1) shall—

a

require the Commission—

i

to prepare, in such form and including such information as may be prescribed by the regulations, an annual statement containing an assessment of the expenses incurred by it as mentioned in subsection (1) in the preceding period of twelve months, and

ii

to send a copy of any such statement to the CAA;

b

prescribe the circumstances in which airport operators, being persons having the management of airports in respect of which permissions under this part are in force, are to be liable to charges under this section in respect of the expenses of the Commission specified in any such statement;

c

provide that, where a particular airport operator is liable to such a charge, the amount of the charge payable by him shall (subject to paragraph (d)) be a proportion of the expenses referred to in paragraph (b) to be determined by reference to such matters or circumstances as may be specified in the regulations; and

d

prescribe the maximum amount of any charge under this section.

4

Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (3)(b), any such regulations may provide for an airport operator falling within that provision to be liable to a charge under this section notwithstanding that none of the expenses there referred to relate to a reference made in respect of an airport managed by him.

5

Where by virtue of any such regulations a charge under this section is payable by any airport operator, the CAA shall notify him he is required to pay that charge to the CAA; and where an airport operator has been so notified the amount of any such charge shall be recoverable from him as a debt due to the CAA.

6

Any sums received by the CAA by virtue of this section shall be paid to the Secretary of State, who shall then pay them into the Consolidated Fund.

Enforcement of conditions
48 Breach of conditions other than accounts conditions: complaints and compliance orders.1

Where—

a

a complaint is made to the CAA in relation to any airport that the airport operator is failing to comply, or has failed to comply and is likely again to fail to comply, with any condition in contravention of section 39(1); and

b

that complaint is made—

i

by any person on whom any airport charges have been levied by the airport operator at the airport (whether actually paid by that person or not), or

ii

by any other airport operator who claims that the business carried on by him at another airport in the United Kingdom has been or is being materially harmed by the alleged failure to comply with the condition in question,

the CAA shall investigate that complaint (unless the CAA considers that it is frivolous); but nothing in this section applies to a condition to which any provision of section 50 applies.

2

Where any such complaint is made to the CAA by a person not falling within subsection (1)(b)(i) or (ii), the CAA may investigate the complaint if it thinks fit.

3

If, having investigated any such complaint, the CAA is satisfied that an airport operator is failing to comply, or has failed to comply and is likely again to fail to comply, with any condition in contravention of section 39(1), the CAA shall either—

a

by order make such provision as it considers appropriate for the purpose of securing compliance with that condition and for remedying any loss or damage sustained, or injustice suffered, by any person in consequence of the failure to comply with that condition; or

b

subject to section 40(6) and subsection (4) below, modify the condition in such manner as it considers appropriate in all the circumstances.

4

The CAA shall not under subsection (3)(b) modify a condition in such a manner as would permit of the occurrence, or (as the case may be) recurrence, of any effects adverse to the public interest which have been specified by the Commission in a report made by them on any reference under section 43 in respect of the airport in question.

5

If, having investigated any such complaint, the CAA is satisfied that an airport operator has failed to comply with any condition in contravention of section 39(1) (but not that he is for the time being failing to comply with it or is likely again to fail to comply with it) the CAA may by order make such provision as it considers appropriate for remedying any loss or damage sustained, or injustice suffered, by any person in consequence of the failure to comply with that condition.

6

An order under subsection (3)(a) or (5)—

a

shall require the airport operator concerned (according to the circumstances of the case) to do, or not to do, such things as are specified in the order or are of a description so specified; and

b

shall, as respects any such requirement, take effect (according to the terms of the order) either as soon as a copy of it is served on the airport operator or at such later time as may be specified in it by the CAA; and

c

may be revoked by the CAA at any time.

7

A copy of any such order shall be served by the CAA on the airport operator in the prescribed manner; and references in this and the following section to the service of a copy of such an order on an airport operator shall be construed accordingly.

49 Validity and effect of compliance orders.1

If an airport operator is aggrieved by any compliance order applying to him by virtue of section 48 and desires to question the validity of the order on the ground—

a

that the order is not within the powers of that section; or

b

where any regulations under section 7(2) of the 1982 Act provide for regulating the procedure to be followed by the CAA in the performance of its functions under section 48, that any requirement of those regulations has not been complied with in relation to the order,

he may, within 42 days from the date of service on him of a copy of the order, make an application to the court under this section.

2

On any such application the court may, if satisfied—

a

that the compliance order is not within the powers of section 48, or

b

that the interests of the applicant have been substantially prejudiced by a failure to comply with any such requirement as is mentioned in subsection (1)(b) above,

quash the order or any provision of the order.

3

Except as provided by this section, the validity of a compliance order shall not be questioned in any legal proceedings whatever.

4

No criminal proceedings shall, by virtue of the making of a compliance order, lie against any person on the ground that he has committed, or aided, abetted, counselled or procured the commission of, or conspired or attempted to commit, or incited others to commit, any contravention of the order.

5

The obligation to comply with a compliance order is a duty owed to any person who may be affected by a contravention of it.

6

Where a duty is owed by virtue of subsection (5) to any person—

a

any breach of the duty which causes that person to sustain loss or damage, and

b

any act which, by inducing a breach of that duty or interfering with its performance, causes that person to sustain loss or damage and which is done wholly or partly for the purpose of achieving that result,

shall be actionable at the suit or instance of that person.

7

In any proceedings brought against any person in pursuance of subsection (6)(a), it shall be a defence for him to prove that he took all reasonable steps and exercised all due diligence to avoid contravening the order.

8

Without prejudice to any right which any person may have by virtue of subsection (6)(a) to bring civil proceedings in respect of any contravention or apprehended contravention of a compliance order, the CAA may enforce compliance with any such order by civil proceedings for an injunction or interdict or for any other appropriate relief.

9

Where it appears to the CAA than an airport operator has contravened a compliance order and is unlikely to comply with it in the immediate future the CAA may, instead of proceeding under subsection (8), revoke the permission for the time being in force under this part in respect of the airport to which the contravention relates.

10

Where any such permission is revoked by reason of an airport operator’s contravention of a compliance order, then (notwithstanding section 38(4)) a permission shall not again be granted under this part in respect of the airport in question so long as he remains the airport operator unless it appears to the CAA that, if the CAA were to impose in relation to the airport any condition corresponding to the one whose breach gave rise to the making of the compliance order, he would comply with that condition.

11

In this section—

act”, in relation to any person, includes any failure to do an act which he is under a duty to do and “done” shall be construed accordingly;

compliance order” means an order under section 48(3)(a) or (5);

contravention”, in relation to a compliance order, includes any failure to comply with it;

the court”—

a

in relation to England and Wales, means the High Court; and

in relation to Scotland, means the Court of Session.

50 Breach of accounts conditions: criminal penalties etc.1

Any airport operator who fails to comply with any condition imposed in accordance with section 40(2)(a) (in pursuance of either section 40(1) or section 41(1)) shall be guilty of an offence and liable—

a

on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum;

b

on conviction on indictment, to a fine.

2

Any airport operator who, in the case of any condition imposed in accordance with section 40(2)(b) (in pursuance of either section 40(1) or section 41(1)), fails to comply with that condition before the end of the period allowed for compliance with it by virtue of that or any other such condition shall be guilty of an offence and liable—

a

on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding the fifth level on the standard scale; and

b

on a second or subsequent summary conviction, to a fine of one-tenth of the amount corresponding to that level for each day on which the contravention is continued.

3

Where an airport operator has failed to comply with any such condition as is mentioned in subsection (1) above, then (whether or not proceedings are brought under that subsection in respect of that contravention) the CAA may impose, in relation to the airport to which the contravention relates, such conditions as the CAA considers appropriate with respect to the publication of any matter to whose non-disclosure the contravention relates; and if the airport operator fails to comply with any condition so imposed before the end of the period allowed for compliance with it by virtue of that or any other such condition he shall be guilty of an offence and liable as mentioned in paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (2).

4

In any proceedings for an offence under this section it shall be a defence for the person charged to prove—

a

in the case of an offence under subsection (1), that he took all reasonable steps for securing compliance with the condition in question;

b

in the case of an offence under subsection (2) or (3), that he took all reasonable steps for securing compliance with the condition in question before the end of the period mentioned in that subsection.

5

Any reference in this section to an airport operator failing to comply with a condition is a reference to his failing to do so in contravention of section 39(1).

Supplementary
51 Supplementary provisions relating to conditions.1

Any condition imposed by the CAA under this Part otherwise than in pursuance of section 40(3) shall (subject to the provisions of this section and to the continuation in force of a permission under this Part in respect of the airport in question) either remain in force for a particular period or remain in force without limit of time, as the CAA may determine; and when imposing any such condition the CAA shall accordingly either—

a

specify the period in question, or

b

specify that it is a condition whose duration is unlimited,

as the case may require.

2

Where the CAA has in the case of any condition specified a period under subsection (1)(a), the CAA may, if it thinks fit, determine that that period shall be extended by such period as may be specified in its determination.

3

Where any such conditions as are mentioned in section 40(2) are in force in relation to an airport, the CAA may at any time modify or revoke those conditions; but the CAA shall not revoke any such conditions otherwise than in connection with replacing them with further conditions unless the conditions revoked were imposed in pursuance of section 41(1).

4

Where any such conditions as are mentioned in section 41(2) are in force in relation to an airport (being conditions imposed otherwise than following a reference to the Commission under section 43(3)) the CAA may at any time modify or revoke those conditions unless—

a

subsection (5)(a) operates to preclude the modification of the conditions under this subsect ion, or

b

that provision has previously so operated and the conditions were modified following a reference to the Commission made in pursuance of subsection (5)(b).

5

Before making any modifications under subsection (4) whose object is the more effective securing of the purpose for which the conditions concerned were imposed the CAA shall notify the airport operator concerned of the course of conduct within section 41(3)(a), (b) or (c) which it appears to the CAA that he is still pursuing and of the modifications which it proposes to make; and, if within such period as may be prescribed, the airport operator notifies the CAA that he objects to its proposals, the CAA

a

shall not proceed with the implementation of those proposals, but
