Commentary on Sections New section 47K: Penalties under sections 47D to 47H: procedure
104.This section sets out the procedure for the imposition of penalties under sections 47D to 47H. Subsections (4) and (5) set out the operator’s right to object to a penalty either because he does not think he is liable for such a penalty, or because he thinks the amount is too high. The Secretary of State is then under an obligation to consider the objection and take appropriate action.
