45Amount of penalty: daily amounts

1

In relation to a penalty under section 39 or 40, a daily amount is an amount payable where the contravention in respect of which the penalty is imposed continues after it is imposed.

2

A penalty under section 39 may not consist of or include a daily amount unless that contravention has been continuous since the end of the representation period for the contravention notice in which the contravention was specified.

3

A daily amount must not exceed 0.1% of the person’s qualifying turnover for the qualifying period.

4

A daily amount is payable in respect of each day in a period specified by the CAA in the notice under section 42 stating that it has imposed the penalty.

5

A specified period during which daily amounts accumulate must be such period as the CAA considers appropriate, subject to subsections (6) and (7).

6

The period must begin after the day on which the CAA gives the notice under section 42.

7

The period must end before—

a

the day on which the contravention specified in the notice under section 42 ceases, or

b

if more than one contravention is specified in that notice, the day on which the last of those contraventions ceases.

8

In this section “qualifying turnover” and “qualifying period” have the same meaning as in section 44.
