Schedule 6: Civil sanctions for infringing passenger permit scheme Paragraph 3: Notices of intent
This paragraph requires the appropriate national authority to issue the permit holder with a notice of intent prior to issuing a compliance notice or monetary penalty notice. Among other requirements, the notice of intent must set out the terms and reasons for intending to issue a compliance or monetary penalty notice and specify a deadline and manner the permit holder can make representations. Subparagraph (1)(b) requires the appropriate national authority to consider any representations made by the permit holder. In some circumstances the notice of intent process could reduce the need for the appropriate national authority to proceed to issue a compliance notice or monetary penalty notice. For example, this could occur if the permit holder provided a clear justification for the non-compliance, or a satisfactory timeline to address the non-compliance.
