1
Any person who buys or sells the goodwill, F1. . ., of a medical practice which it is unlawful to sell by virtue of section 54(1) above is guilty of an offence and liable on conviction on indictment to a fine not exceeding—

such amount as will in the court’s opinion secure that he derives no benefit from the offence, and
b
the further amount of £500,
or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months, or to both such fine and such imprisonment.
F22
Any person proposing to be a party to a transaction or series of transactions which he thinks might amount to a sale of the goodwill of a medical practice in contravention of section 54(1) may ask F3the Secretary of State for a certificate under this paragraph.
3
F3The Secretary of State shall consider any such application, and, if F4he is satisfied that the transaction or series of transactions does not involve the giving of valuable consideration in respect of the goodwill, F1. . ., of such a medical practice, F4he shall issue to the applicant a certificate to that effect, which shall be in the prescribed form and shall set out all material circumstances disclosed to F3the Secretary of State.
4
Where any person is charged with an offence under this paragraph in respect of any transaction or series of transactions, it shall be a defence to the charge to prove that the transaction or series of transactions was certified by F3the Secretary of State under sub-paragraph (3) above.
5
Any document purporting to be such a certificate shall be admissible in evidence and shall be deemed to be such a certificate unless the contrary is proved.
