Paragraph 17 Paragraph 72 Effect
This paragraph amends section 112 of the Building Act 1984 in line with section 23 of this Act, in that it increases the maximum penalty for obstructing a local authority building control officer from level 1 (currently £200) to level 3 (currently £1000). It carves out authorised officers of the Building Safety Regulator from the obstruction offence, given the creation of the offence of obstructing an authorised officer in section 23.
