Section 49: Remedial orders

Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 · 2014 c. 12View on legislation.gov.uk

Part 4: Community protection — CHAPTER 1: Community protection notices

A court before which a person is convicted of an offence under section 48 in respect of a community protection notice may make whatever order the court thinks appropriate for ensuring that what the notice requires to be done is done.

An order under this section may in particular require the defendant—

to carry out specified work, or
to allow specified work to be carried out by or on behalf of a specified local authority.

To be specified under subsection (2)(b) a local authority must be—

the local authority that issued the community protection notice;
if the community protection notice was not issued by a local authority, the local authority (or, as the case may be, one of the local authorities) that could have issued it.

In subsection (4) "the defendant's home" means the house, flat, vehicle or other accommodation where the defendant—

usually lives, or
is living at the time when the work is or would be carried out.

If work is carried out under subsection (2)(b) and the local authority specified under that subsection issues a notice to the defaulter—

giving details of the work that was carried out, and
specifying an amount that is no more than the cost to the authority of having the work carried out,

the defaulter is liable to the authority for that amount (subject to the outcome of any appeal under subsection (7)).

A person issued with a notice under subsection (6) may appeal to a magistrates' court, within the period of 21 days beginning with the day on which the notice was issued, on the ground that the amount specified under subsection (6)(b) is excessive.

A magistrates' court hearing an appeal under subsection (7) must—

confirm the amount, or
substitute a lower amount.
