Consultation outcome: Fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gas) regulations: introducing civil penalties

Updated: A correction has been made to the final sentence of paragraph 31 in the “Summary of responses”. The original sentence stated “Where an appeal is made to the Sheriff Court, the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service will determine the manner of such an appeal and the corresponding fee”. This sentence has been amended to say “Where an appeal is made to the Sheriff, court rules will determine the procedure to be followed and the corresponding fee”.

We want to know what you think about our proposals to change the way F-gas regulations are enforced by introducing civil penalties. These changes would apply to England, Scotland and offshore marine areas.
