Illustration for Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006

You can get a fine under section 66 and it is like a debt that you owe to the Board. The Board can take you to court to get the money. You have to pay the fine in a court that has the power to make you pay. If someone makes an order under section 66, it starts on the day it is made. But you will not get in trouble for anything you did before the order was made that day. This is because you did not know about the order until it was made. If your employer's licence is suspended, you are not allowed to do certain things under section 63. This is for the time that the licence is suspended. When the suspension ends, your employer's licence starts again, unless there is another reason to suspend or cancel it.

68Miscellaneous provisions concerning actions under section 66

  1. Every fine imposed under section 66 is recoverable in any court of competent jurisdiction as a debt due to the Board.

  2. An order under section 66 takes effect on the day of the making of the order; but that fact does not make any person concerned liable to prosecution or disciplinary proceedings for any act done or omitted during any part of that day before the order was made.

  3. If a person’s employer licence is suspended, the person is not authorised under section 63 for the period for which the licence is suspended.

  4. At the end of a period of suspension, the person’s employer licence is immediately revived (unless there is some other ground to suspend or cancel that person’s employer licence).
