Part 4: Aviation, Shipping and Rail Schedule 5: Aviation, Maritime and Rail Security Amendments to the Aviation Security Act 1982: civil penalties for breach of directions
165.Paragraph 11 inserts a new section 22A into the ASA giving the Secretary of State the power to make a civil sanctions scheme in lieu of criminal proceedings when a directed person does not comply with an aviation security direction or information request. It also makes amendments to the ASA to prevent criminal proceedings from being brought against a person where a civil penalty has been imposed on the person for the same breach.
