Part 2: Further functions of the OGA relating to offshore petroleum Sanction notices Section 46: Payment of financial penalty
Section 46 makes provision about the payment of a financial penalty. Subsection (1) is self-explanatory. Subsections (2) and (3) provide that financial penalties which are not paid within the deadline specified in a financial penalty notice are recoverable as a civil debt, and the money recovered by the OGA under a financial penalty notice must be paid into the Consolidated Fund.
