Part 3: Enforcement of consumer protection law Miscellaneous Section 179: Crown application
This section confirms that this Chapter binds the Crown if it engages in an infringing practice (see section 148) or consents or connives in such a practice (subsection (1)).
	Subsection (2) makes an exception for monetary penalties.
	This section restates and updates section 236 of the Enterprise Act 2002. It ensures that if an emanation of the Crown is acting as a trader, for example a government agency providing services to members of the public for a fee, it can be enforced against if proven to have engaged in infringing practices.
