Electricity Supply Act 1995

A person who is the subject of a civil penalty order may apply to the scheme entity that issued the order for a review of—

the decision to issue the order, or

the monetary penalty imposed by the order.

An application must be made within 28 days of the issuing of the order.

A person issued a civil penalty order is not required to pay the monetary penalty imposed while an application is being considered.

The scheme entity’s decision on the application must be given to the applicant—

by written notice that includes the reasons for the decision, and

within 90 days of the making of the application.

If the written notice of the scheme entity’s decision is not given to the applicant within 90 days of the making of the application, the application is taken to have been refused.

If the scheme entity affirms the decision to issue the civil penalty order, including with a different monetary penalty, the written notice of the decision must include the date, not less than 28 days after the date of the notice, by which the monetary penalty must be paid.
