Illustration for Animal Welfare Act 1999

When an inspector gives you a compliance notice, they must make sure you get it. You can get a compliance notice by someone giving it to you in person. You can also get it by fax, email, or post to your home or work address, or to your fax number or email address. If you are part of a company or partnership, the notice can be given to one of your colleagues or to your company's office. If the notice is sent by post, it is considered given to you when it would normally arrive. An inspector can give you a compliance notice as described in section 185. This can include delivering it to you or sending it to you by fax or email. The notice can also be posted to your address.
