Abstract

This Order prescribes the form of notices under section 33A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. A notice under section 33A may be given by an authorised person or a constable to a person who the authorised person or constable has reason to believe has committed an offence under section 33(1)(a) or (c) of that Act (offences related to the deposit, keeping or managing of controlled waste). The effect of giving the notice is that no proceedings shall be instituted for the offence before the expiration of fourteen days following the date of the notice, and that a person who pays the fixed penalty within that period shall not be convicted of the offence.
