Telecommunication (Control of Interference) Regulations
[1972 Ed.
[Subsidiary]
(2) If the Authority is satisfied that the use of any apparatus to which regulation 4 applies is likely to cause undue interference such as is referred to in paragraph (1)(b) and that the circumstances of the case warrant the service of a notice under that paragraph requiring that the apparatus shall not be used from the date of service of the notice, he may, in addition to the service of such a notice and either before or after the service of the notice, seal the apparatus in such manner, or remove such part thereof, as ensures that the apparatus is not used, but in such a case, where the apparatus is sealed or a part thereof is removed before the service of the notice, the notice aforesaid shall be served within three days after the apparatus is sealed or the part removed therefrom.
(3) A notice under paragraph (1) may be revoked or varied by a subsequent notice in writing by the Authority served on the person in whose possession the apparatus then is:
Provided that-
(a) where a notice under this paragraph has the effect of imposing any additional restrictions on the use of the apparatus, the provisions of paragraph (1) relating to the coming into force of notices shall apply in relation to the notice as if it had been a notice served under that paragraph; and
(b) where the Authority is satisfied that the apparatus has been altered or otherwise made to comply with the requirement referred to in regulation 7, he shall revoke the notice and forthwith break the seal (if any) on, or replace the part (if any) removed from, the apparatus.
(4) No person, being a person who knows that a notice of the Authority under this regulation is in force with respect to any apparatus, shall use that apparatus, or cause or permit it to be used, in contravention of the notice.
(5) Any person who contravenes the provisions of paragraph (4) shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on summary conviction-
