Infringement notice compliance period for infringement notice

(1) Subject to this section, the infringement notice compliance period, for an SPF infringement notice issued to a person, is the period of 28 days beginning on the day after the day that the notice is so issued by an inspector of an SPF regulator.

(2) The SPF regulator may, by giving written notice to the person, extend that infringement notice compliance period if the SPF regulator is satisfied that it is appropriate to do so.

(3) Only one extension may be given and the extension must not be for longer than 28 days.

(4) A failure to give the person written notice of the extension does not affect the validity of the extension.

(5) If an infringement notice compliance period for an SPF infringement notice is extended under this section, a reference in this Subdivision to the infringement notice compliance period is taken to be a reference to that period as so extended.
