Criminal and civil sanctions Section 13: Civil Sanctions
This section ensures that civil sanctions may also be applied to breaches of the prohibition. A mixed regime of criminal and civil sanctions makes available a range of sanctions which can be applied depending on the severity of the offence committed under the general prohibition. In those cases where a criminal sanction is unwarranted, civil sanctions may be applied. The civil sanctions applicable to offences under the Act are provided for in Schedule 1.
