It provides for review of notices by the enforcement authority on request made within that period (paragraph 4), for withdrawal of the notice by the authority if appropriate (paragraph 5), and for appeal to a county court from a confirmation of the notice upon review (paragraph 6). Provision is made for recovery of the penalty charge by the enforcing authority (paragraph 7), and for evidence to be given in writing in recovery proceedings (paragraph 8). There is provision for the enforcement authority to return payments of any charge where a notice is withdrawn or quashed (paragraph 9). Provision for service of notices is made (paragraph 10). The appropriate national authority may by regulations make provision supplementary or incidental to Schedule 10 for subjects including the form of penalty charge notices, circumstances in which they may not be given, methods of payment, and service (paragraph 11).
