Articles 30-34 Enforcement Orders
30.Articles 30-34 set out the circumstances in which an enforcement authority is required to make an enforcement order to ensure an undertaker’s compliance with any condition of its terms of appointment or any of its statutory obligations. The enforcement authority can be the Department, the Authority or either depending on the particular provision under which enforcement may take place. An enforcement order requires an undertaker to do or not do anything set out in the order (Article 30). Where there is a contravention of any condition of an undertaker’s terms of appointment or any of its statutory obligations a final enforcement order must be made. However the Authority and the Department can make provisional orders in some cases and accept undertakings from the undertaker that remedial measures are being taken. The procedures which must be followed when making or revoking an enforcement order (Article 31) are set out (Article 32) as well as how the undertaker can appeal to the High Court against an order (Article 33). Article 34 deals with the undertaker’s liability under an enforcement order.
