Clause 74

Any notice issued by the Commissioner in pursuance of any section in this Part shall be complied with within twenty-one days of the date thereof unless extension of the period has been granted by the Commissioner.

Any person who fails or neglects to comply with any such notice within the period specified therein, including any extension thereof, shall be guilty of an offence under this Act and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars and to a further fine not exceeding fifty dollars for every day during which the offence is continued after conviction, and a Magistrate’s Court may, on the application of the Commissioner, make a mandatory order requiring such person to construct such sanitary conveniences as the Court thinks fit.

Where any person who has been served with any such notice fails to comply therewith, the Commissioner may, in his discretion, without prejudice to any proceedings under subsection (2) of this section and whether before or after the commencement or conclusion of such proceedings, carry out such works as are specified in such notice and recover from such person the costs and expenses thereof in the manner provided in section 119 of this Act.
