9.—(1) Where a litter authority cancels or is deemed to have cancelled a penalty notice under these Regulations, the authority must as soon as practicable refund any amount paid in respect of the notice.
(2) But paragraph (1) does not apply where an adjudicator has—
(a)given directions to a litter authority requiring the cancellation of a penalty notice under regulation 16(6), and
(b)the directions include directions about the refund of any amount paid in respect of the penalty notice.
(3) A cancellation or deemed cancellation of a penalty notice does not prevent the litter authority which gave the notice from giving a further penalty notice in respect of the same littering offence (whether to the same or another person).
