Beyond the text
What this means for your estate
- The Enforcement Committee's job is to consider referred matters and make findings and recommendations to the Regulator (paragraph (a)) — it doesn't itself impose the final enforcement notice; that remains the Regulator's decision under s.95, informed by the Committee's recommendation.
