Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009

Publication of enforcement action U.K.

11 (1) Where power is conferred on an enforcement authority under section 93 or 95 to impose a civil sanction in relation to an offence, the provision conferring the power must, subject to this paragraph, secure the result in sub-paragraph (2). U.K.

(2) That result is that the enforcement authority must from time to time publish reports specifying—

(a) the cases in which the civil sanction has been imposed,

(b) where the civil sanction is a fixed monetary penalty, the cases in which liability to the penalty has been discharged pursuant to section 94(2)(b), and

(c) where the civil sanction is a variable monetary penalty, the cases in which an undertaking referred to in section 96(5) is accepted from such a person.

(3) In sub-paragraph (2)(a), the reference to cases in which the civil sanction has been imposed does not include cases where the sanction has been imposed but overturned on appeal.

(4) The provision conferring the power need not secure the result in sub-paragraph (2) in cases where the appropriate licensing authority considers that it would be inappropriate to do so.
