Commentary on Sections New section 49E:  Compliance notices
70.New section 49E sets out the framework for the enforcement of specific duties imposed by regulations under new section 49D. The Disability Rights Commission may serve a compliance notice on a public authority where it is satisfied that the authority is not complying with any specific duty imposed by such regulations. A compliance notice would require the public authority to comply with the duty concerned and also to inform the Disability Rights Commission of the steps it has taken (or is taking) to do so. It could also require the public authority to give the Disability Rights Commission other information that may be required in order to verify that the duty has been complied with.
