Part 4: Consumer rights and disputes Enforcement of prohibitions etc Section 302: Enforcement notices
This section allows the Secretary of State to issue enforcement notices to an ADR provider for contraventions of Chapter 4.
	Subsection (1) specifies the contraventions for which the Secretary of State may give an enforcement notice. These consist of carrying out ADR or making special ADR arrangements without being accredited to do so; charging consumers unauthorised fees for that ADR; breaching accreditation conditions; failing to pay periodic accreditation fees; failing to provide information required by the Secretary of State.
	Subsection (2) requires that, before deciding to issue an enforcement notice, the Secretary of State must give the provider a chance to make representations about its conduct and whether an enforcement notice should be given.
	Subsection (3) specifies that an enforcement notice may require the ADR provider to do, or not do, such things as are specified in the notice in order to ensure compliance with a requirement that has been breached.
	Subsection (4) and (5) deal with the contents of enforcement notices and are self-explanatory.
	Subsections (6) and (7) enable the Secretary of State to revoke enforcement notices or any requirements they contain and, in the latter case, make consequential changes to any remaining requirements which are not revoked.
	Subsection (8) provides that, with permission of the relevant court, the enforcement notice may be enforced as if it is a court order.
	Subsection (9) provides authority for the Secretary of State to publish information about enforcement notices. The objective is to enable the Secretary of State to publicise enforcement notices, to bring them to the attention of consumers.
	Breach of the requirements of this Chapter may also constitute a relevant infringement to which the civil enforcement regime provided by Chapter 3 of Part 3 of this Act (enforcement of consumer protection law) applies.
