The appropriate court may, on an application by an enforcing authority under section 19, make a labour market enforcement order against a person if the court—
is satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that the person has committed, or is committing, a trigger offence, and
considers that it is just and reasonable to make the order.
In this section "the appropriate court"—
where the conduct constituting the trigger offence took or is taking place primarily in England and Wales, means a magistrates' court;
where that conduct took or is taking place primarily in Scotland, means the sheriff;
where that conduct took or is taking place primarily in Northern Ireland, means a court of summary jurisdiction.
An application for an LME order under this section is—
in England and Wales, to be made by complaint;
in Northern Ireland, to be made by complaint under Part 8 of the Magistrates' Courts (Northern Ireland) Order 1981 (S.I. 1981/1675 (N.I. 26)).
