Civil Aviation Act 2012 Explanatory Notes

Section 42: Procedure after imposing penalty

149.Section 42 provides that the CAA must, as soon as practicable after imposing a penalty in respect of a contravention notice or contravention of a requirement of either an enforcement order or an urgent enforcement order that has been confirmed, give notice to the person on whom the penalty is imposed, publish the notice and send a copy to appropriate industry representatives. The notice must state the amount of the penalty imposed, specify the relevant licence condition or requirement and specify the act or omission that the CAA has determined constitutes a contravention of the condition or requirement. It must provide a reasonable period for payment of the penalty. Where the penalty is calculated entirely or partly by reference to a daily amount, it must specify the day on which daily amounts begin to accumulate and the day on which, or circumstances in which, they cease to accumulate.
