Part 2: Knife Crime Prevention Orders Section 25: Offences relating to notification
Subsection (1) makes it an offence for a person to fail, without reasonable excuse, to comply with the notification requirements in section 24 or to notify the police of false information. The standard of proof is the criminal standard (beyond reasonable doubt).
	The maximum penalty for breach of the notification requirements is 12 months imprisonment or a fine or both on summary conviction, or two years imprisonment or a fine or both following conviction on indictment (subsections (2) and (3)). The maximum 12-month sentence on summary conviction is contingent on section 154(1) of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 coming into force and until that time the maximum sentence will be six months.
	Subsections (4) to (6) provide that a person commits an offence on the first day on which they fail to notify, and continue to commit the offence for the duration of the continued failure, but may only be prosecuted once in respect of the same offence.
	This section forms part of the law of England and Wales.
