28: Reminder notices

You could also call this:

“Explanation of what happens when you get a reminder notice after an infringement notice”

If you get a reminder notice after receiving an infringement notice, here’s what you need to know:

The reminder notice is like a follow-up to the infringement notice you got earlier. It has to include pretty much the same information as the original notice. This is to make sure you have all the details about what you did wrong.

The government decides what the reminder notice should look like. They have a special form that must be used. If they haven’t made a special form yet, there’s a backup plan. In that case, the reminder notice has to look like the one shown in Schedule 2 of the Freedom Camping Act 2011.

This helps make sure that no matter who sends you a reminder notice, it will always have the important information you need to understand what’s happening and what you need to do next.
