20 Orders for securing compliance.U.K.
This section has no associated Explanatory Notes

(1)If the CAA is satisfied that a licence holder is contravening or is likely to contravene a section 8 duty or a licence condition it must make a final order containing provision it thinks is needed to secure compliance with the duty or condition.

(2)If the CAA is not so satisfied but it appears to it that a licence holder is contravening or is likely to contravene a section 8 duty or a licence condition and that a provisional order is needed, it must make a provisional order containing provision it thinks is needed to secure compliance with the duty or condition.

(3)In deciding whether a provisional order is needed the CAA must have regard in particular to—

(a)the extent to which any person is likely to sustain loss or damage as a result of anything likely to be done or omitted in contravention of the section 8 duty or licence condition unless a provisional order is made, and

(b)the fact that the only remedy for a contravention of a section 8 duty or licence condition is under this section and section 24 (unless there is an act or omission which takes place in the course of the provision of air traffic services).

(4)A final or provisional order must require the licence holder to do or not to do specified things or things of a specified description.

(5)A final or provisional order—

(a)takes effect at a time determined by or under the order;

(b)must secure that that time is the earliest practicable time;

(c)may be revoked at any time by the CAA.

(6)A final order continues to have effect until such time (if any) as the CAA revokes it.

(7)A provisional order ceases to have effect at the termination time, and that is the earlier of—

(a)the end of the period (not exceeding three months) which is determined by or under the order and which starts when it takes effect;

(b)such time (if any) as the CAA revokes it.

(8)But if the CAA confirms a provisional order under subsection (9) before the termination time it continues to have effect until such time (if any) as the CAA revokes it.

(9)The CAA must confirm a provisional order (with or without modifications) if—

(a)it is satisfied that the licence holder is contravening or is likely to contravene a section 8 duty or a licence condition, and

(b)it thinks its confirmation (with any modifications) is needed to secure compliance with the duty or condition.

(10)In relation to a licence holder—

(a)a section 8 duty is a duty imposed on the holder by section 8;

(b)a licence condition is a condition of the licence concerned.

(11)In sections 21 to 25 any reference to a section 8 duty or to a licence condition or to a final or provisional order must be construed in accordance with this section.

(12)This section has effect subject to section 21.
