4.—(1) If a veterinary inspector suspects that disease exists on any premises or means of transport, he may serve a notice on the person in charge of the premises or means of transport prohibiting the movement of any animal, carcase or other thing on to or from those premises or that means of transport, except under the authority of a licence issued by a veterinary inspector.
(2) A notice issued under paragraph (1) may contain such other restrictions or requirements with regard to the premises or means of transport or with regard to persons, animals, carcases or other things on the premises or means of transport as the veterinary inspector considers necessary for the purpose of preventing the spread of disease.
(3) If any person contravenes a notice issued under this article in so far as it applies to an animal, the Secretary of State or an inspector of a local authority, may seize or detain that animal and may dispose of it in such manner as he considers necessary to prevent the spread of disease.
(4) Any expenses incurred by the Secretary of State or inspector in exercise of the powers under paragraph (3) shall be recoverable as a civil debt, by the Secretary of State or local authority, from the person in default.
