158 Enforcement orders: requirement to pay monetary penalty

(1) This section applies where the court makes an enforcement order against the respondent on an application made by a public designated enforcer.

(2) The order may, subject to subsection (3), include a requirement for the respondent to pay a monetary penalty.

(3) In the case of a respondent within section 156(1)(a), a requirement to pay a monetary penalty may be imposed only if the court finds that the respondent has engaged, or is engaging, in a commercial practice constituting a relevant infringement (and not in respect of a practice that the court finds that the person is likely to engage in).

(4) Where the order includes a requirement under subsection (2), the order, or a notice accompanying service of the order, must set out the monetary penalty information (see section 203).

(5) The amount of a monetary penalty must be a fixed amount not exceeding £300,000 or, if higher, 10% of the total value of the turnover (if any) of the respondent.

(6) A monetary penalty may not be imposed
