Section 15: Prohibition notices and premises notices: supplementary
Subsection (2) sets out the information that must be included in a prohibition notice or premises notice: this would include the grounds for giving the notice (for example, evidence of the supply of psychoactive substances from particular retail premises) and an explanation of the possible consequences of breaching the notice. Such consequences could include, in particular, a prosecution for the relevant offence under the Act or the making of an application for a prohibition order or premises order, as appropriate. There are no direct consequences for breach of a notice in that there is no criminal offence or civil sanction attached to a failure to comply.
	Subsection (3) provides for the withdrawal of a notice. A notice may be withdrawn if, say, the person and premises to which it relates are no longer trading as a head shop. It would be open to the respondent to make representations to the relevant enforcement agency to argue for the withdrawal of a notice where the circumstances which led to the issue of the notice had changed. A defective notice could also be withdrawn and subsection (4) ensures that, in such a case, a replacement notice could be issued. A new notice could also be issued in any other circumstances where an earlier notice had been withdrawn.
