Chief Executive in Council

“ A person on whom a fire hazard abatement notice is served commits an offence if that person fails to comply with a requirement of the notice within the period specified in the notice and shall (whether or not a fire hazard order has been made in respect of him) be liable on conviction to a fine at level 6 and to a further fine of $10,000 for each day during which the offence continues. ”

“ If the magistrate by whom a fire hazard order that requires the carrying out of structural works was made is of the opinion that the nature of the relevant fire hazard is such as to require immediate abatement, the magistrate may, notwithstanding that an appeal in respect of the order is pending, authorize the Director to abate the fire hazard immediately. ”

“ A magistrate may, at any time after a person is convicted of an offence under section 9, either on application by the Director or on the magistrate’s own initiative, make a fire hazard order in the form of Form 2 in Schedule 1 in respect of that person. ”
