It was found necessary in one instance for the Council to
institute legal proceedings against a food trader in respect of
contraventions of the Regulations. The contraventions referred to
were concerned with the dirty and obstructed condition of the

the walls and ceilings of the bakehouse and bread store. The
Court imposed fines totalling £28 and allowed the Council 5
guineas costs.
