2
If the person on whom any such notice or any notice pursuant to byelaws 11 and 19 is served fails to comply with the terms whereof within the time therein specified or any person fails to comply with a notice issued under byelaw 11(1)(c) then, without prejudice to any proceedings for an offence against any of these byelaws, the Verderers may remove from the Forest and (if the Verderers think fit) impound any animal to which the notice relates or in the case of a dead animal dispose of the carcass.

If the Verderers so require, a person served with a notice pursuant to byelaw 11 shall allow any animal specified in the notice to be marked with a distinctive mark before its removal from the Forest, such mark being additional to the mark required by byelaw 6 or 7.

Where a notice served under paragraph (1) above or under byelaw 11(1)(e) specifies a breach of that byelaw, the person on whom the notice has been served may, within 48 hours of service of the notice on him and provided that he is not in breach of any requirement contained in the notice, apply to the Verderers for a review of the notice on the ground that the condition of the animal which is the subject of the notice is not such that that byelaw is contravened.
