4. Consultation

4.1 The Enforcement Policy that underpins the work identified in this report is approved by your Committee. The policy reflects the views of the public and business in terms of the regulation duties of the Council. Any enforcement action[s] taken as a result of the contents of this report are subject to that Enforcement Policy.

5. Implications for Resources

5.1 Costs incurred in investigating and preparing prosecutions, including officers’ time, the professional fees of expert witnesses etc. are recorded as prosecution costs. Arrangements have been made with the Magistrates Court for any costs awarded to be reimbursed to the City Council. Monies paid in respect of fines are paid to the Treasury.

5.2 For the year April 2018 to February 2019 the following costs have been requested and awarded:

Licensing £25,208 has been requested with £18,526 being awarded (73%).

Environmental Health £315,847 has been requested with £239,008 being awarded (76%).

Trading Standards £46,082 has been requested with £20,63 being awarded (44%).

2 5.3 For the month of February 2019 the following costs have been requested and awarded:

Licensing £2,714 has been requested with £700 being awarded (26%)

Environmental Health £18,611 has been requested with £16,270 being awarded (87%).

Trading Standards £4,072 has been requested with £4,072 being awarded (100%).

5.4 There have not been any postings of Court Cost Income to the City Council during February, therefore, since the start of the financial year until the end of February 2019 the following income remains as follows:-

Licensing

£13,058 has been received.

Environmental Heath

£155,944 has been received including Waste Enforcement cases.

Trading Standards

£54,627 has been received.

(Total £223,629)

5.5 This will not directly correlate to the values awarded in the same time period as individual cases are often cleared in instalments with the associated fines and court costs taking precedence over the settling of BCC legal costs. Therefore, income received may relate to cases from the previous financial year or earlier.

6. Implications for Policy Priorities

6.1 The contents of this report contribute to the priority action of ensuring business compliance with legislation to protect the economic interests of consumers and businesses as contained in the Council Business Plan 2015+.

7. Public Sector Equality Duty

7.1 The actions identified in this report were taken in accordance with the Enforcement Policy of the Licensing and Public Protection Committee which ensures that equality issues have been addressed.
