Part 3: Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Act Section 25C: Enforcement action other than by primary authority
This section sets out the process to be followed where enforcement action is proposed by a qualifying regulator other than a primary authority (the "enforcing authority") against a regulated person or a member of a regulated group.
	Subsection (2) requires an enforcing authority to notify the primary authority of proposed enforcement action before it takes the action and prevents the enforcing authority from taking the proposed enforcement action until the end of the relevant period, which is defined in subsection (9).
	Subsection (3) provides that, if the enforcing authority fails to notify the primary authority of the proposed enforcement action but the primary authority is notified of the enforcement action by the regulated person or a member or coordinator of the regulated group, the primary authority must then notify the enforcing authority that it is prohibited from taking enforcement action during the relevant period.
	Subsection (4) enables a primary authority, within the relevant period, to direct the enforcing authority not to take the enforcement action if it decides such action would be inconsistent with advice or guidance the primary authority has previously given. If no direction is issued and the enforcing authority continues to propose to take the enforcement action, it must notify the regulated person or the member of its intention to do so under subsection (6).
	Subsection (7) provides for Parts 2 and 3 of Schedule 4A to RESA, which contains provisions that allow an enforcing authority, a primary authority or a regulated person or members of a regulated group to refer questions regarding enforcement action to the Secretary of State.
