28.—(1) Subject to paragraphs (2) and (5) and Article 29, where the Director is satisfied that a licence holder is contravening, or is likely to contravene, any relevant condition or requirement, he shall by a final order make such provision as is requisite for the purpose of securing compliance with that condition or requirement.
(2) Subject to paragraph (5), where it appears to the Director—
(a)that a licence holder is contravening, or is likely to contravene, any relevant condition or requirement; and
(b)that it is requisite that a provisional order be made,
he shall (instead of taking steps towards the making of a final order) by a provisional order make such provision as appears to him requisite for the purpose of securing compliance with that condition or requirement.
(3) In determining for the purposes of paragraph (2)(b) whether it is requisite that a provisional order be made, the Director shall have regard, in particular—
(a)to the extent to which any person is likely to sustain loss or damage in consequence of anything which, in contravention of the relevant condition or requirement, is likely to be done, or omitted to be done, before a final order may be made; and
(b)to the fact that the effect of the provisions of this Article and Article 30 is to exclude the availability of any remedy (apart from under those provisions or for negligence) in respect of any contravention of a relevant condition or requirement.
(4) Subject to paragraph (5) and Article 29, the Director shall confirm a provisional order, with or without modifications, if—
(a)he is satisfied that the licence holder to whom the order relates is contravening, or is likely to contravene, any relevant condition or requirement; and
(b)the provision made by the order (with any modifications) is requisite for the purpose of securing compliance with that condition or requirement.
(5) The Director shall not make a final order or make or confirm a provisional order in relation to a licence holder if he is satisfied—
(a)that the duties imposed on him by Article 6 preclude the making or, as the case may be, the confirmation of the order;
(b)that the licence holder has agreed to take and is taking all such steps as it appears to the Director for the time being to be appropriate for the licence holder to take for the purpose of securing or facilitating compliance with the condition or requirement in question; or
(c)that the contraventions were, or the apprehended contraventions are, of a trivial nature.
(6) Where the Director is satisfied as mentioned in paragraph (5), he shall—
(a)serve notice that he is so satisfied on the licence holder; and
(b)publish the notice in such manner as he considers appropriate for the purpose of bringing the matters to which the notice relates to the attention of persons likely to be affected by them.
(7) A final or provisional order—
(a)shall require the licence holder to whom it relates (according to the circumstances of the case) to do, or not to do, such things as are specified in the order or are of a description so specified;
(b)shall take effect at such time, being the earliest practicable time, as is determined by or under the order; and
(c)may be revoked at any time by the Director.
