You can apply for a civil remedy order under section 33I or a pecuniary penalty order under section 33M within 2 years of discovering the matter. You must find out about the matter or it should be something you reasonably ought to have known about. The time limit is 2 years from this date. You have to follow the usual time limits for other civil remedy orders. These time limits are important to remember. They apply to most orders. If you want to apply for a compensatory order, you have 6 months from the date a declaration of contravention is made. This is even if the usual time limit has expired. You can make this application within 6 months of the declaration.
