Part 5Enforcement: sanctions and offences
Sanctions for breach of obligations other than young person or young parent obligations: Procedure for imposing sanction
252AMSD must give notice of non-financial sanction
Before, on, or as soon as is reasonably practicable after, imposing a non-financial sanction on a person (P), MSD must give P a written notice for the purposes of this section (a section 252A notice) that complies with subsection (2).
The notice must state—
- the non-financial sanction that is to be, or has been, imposed on P; and
- that sanction’s requirements (including, without limitation, what P must do while P is subject to that sanction); and
- the date (which must be after the 5 working days from the giving of the related section 252 notice) on which that sanction takes effect; and
- the duration of that sanction (see sections 236A(6) and 236B(5)); and
- how P recomplies with an obligation if the failure to comply with it resulted in that non-financial sanction being imposed and taking effect (see section 261, 261A, or 261B).
