The Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 (Penalty and Compensation Notices) Regulations 2010
Under section 228 of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 the Regulator of Social Housing may penalise failures on the part of a registered provider of social housing. In order to do so the Regulator must send the provider a penalty notice. Amongst other things that notice must specify the period within which the penalty must be paid. These Regulations provide that the period specified in such a notice shall be at least 28 days.
