General Schedule 1: Civil Sanctions Part 3: Enforcement undertakings
Paragraph 10 provides for an enforcement undertaking to be applied under the Act subject to the conditions set out in sub-paragraph 1. If the person suspected of committing a relevant offence completes the actions set out in the enforcement undertaking to stop the offence or prevent it from re-occurring (for example, the person offers and completes an undertaking to register an exempt item before continuing to use it for dealing) that person cannot be convicted of a relevant offence and the Secretary of State may not impose a monetary penalty. If that person fails to comply with the enforcement undertaking, they may, in relation to the offence or omission they have committed, be convicted of a relevant offence and face criminal sanctions or may be served a monetary penalty.
