LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1972 - SECT 92

1932 c.11

92.(1) A person who contravenes a bye-law shall be guilty of an offence and,
subject to subsection (2), shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not
exceeding #20 and, in the case of a continuing offence, a further fine not
exceeding #2 for each day on which the offence continues after conviction.

(2) Bye-laws may, for offences under subsection (1) in relation to the
bye-laws, fix lower maximum fines than the sums mentioned in that subsection,
or, if power to fix higher maximum fines than those sums is conferred by the
transferred provision conferring the power to make the bye-laws, may fix
maximum fines exceeding those sums but not exceeding the higher maxima.

(3) Proceedings in respect of an offence under subsection (1) shall not,
without the consent of the Attorney-General, be taken by any person other than
the council by which, or by whose predecessors, the bye-law in question was
