persons carrying on or intending to carry on the home to which the application
relates, and shall be made in such manner and accompanied by such particulars
as may be prescribed.

otherwise unsatisfactory, the Ministry may, after serving on the persons
carrying on the home not less than twenty-eight days' notice of its proposal
so to do, remove the home from the register.

provisions of subsection (1) shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable
on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding one hundred pounds, and where

not exceeding ten pounds for every day subsequent to the day on which he is
first convicted of the offence during which the contravention is so repeated
or continued.
