General Schedule 1: Civil Sanctions Part 1: Monetary Penalties
Paragraph 1 provides for a monetary penalty to be served as a sanction to a relevant offence, as defined in section 14(4), where the Secretary of State is satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that such an offence has been committed. Sub-paragraph (2) defines a monetary penalty and sub-paragraph (3) ensures that a monetary penalty up to, but not exceeding, £250,000 could be applied.
	Paragraph 2 sets out the process by which a monetary penalty may be imposed by the Secretary of State, including service of a notice of what is proposed, and the right of the person on whom the monetary penalty is imposed to appeal the penalty.
	Paragraph 3 sets out the information which must be included, by the Secretary of State, when serving a notice to the person on whom the monetary penalty is imposed.
	Paragraph 4 provides that if a person who is served a notice proposing a monetary penalty to be imposed, that person will not be subject to criminal sanctions for the same offence during the period within which liability could be discharged by payment of the sum stated in the notice. It also states that if the person pays the sum stated in the notice, and as such they discharge their liability under the monetary penalty, they cannot be subject to criminal sanctions for the same offence.
