Schedule 6: Civil sanctions for infringing passenger permit scheme Paragraph 4: Costs
This paragraph allows the appropriate national authority to issue a costs notice. Costs notices enable the appropriate national authority to recover, from a permit holder, certain costs it has reasonably incurred in connection with issuing a compliance notice or monetary penalty notice to the permit holder. The appropriate national authority may only issue a costs notice to a permit holder if it has issued the permit holder a compliance notice or monetary penalty notice (the ‘principal notice’), and the notice of intent which preceded the principal notice stated the appropriate national authority’s intention to issue a costs notice in connection with the principal notice, and gave a general indication of the costs that the appropriate national authority would be likely to seek to recover.
