If a registered provider does not comply with an enforcement notice the regulator shall consider exercising another power under Chapter 6 or this Chapter.

In the case of an enforcement notice given to a person other than the registered provider by virtue of section 220(12), the regulator may only—

exercise the power to issue a penalty notice to the person in accordance with sections 226 to 235, or
take steps to have the person prosecuted for the offence by reference to which the enforcement notice was given.

A person to whom an enforcement notice is given on the ground in Case 9 of section 220 may not be prosecuted for the offence by reference to which the enforcement notice was given unless the person fails to comply with the enforcement notice.
