PROSECUTIONS.
It became necessary to take proceedings against an owner of
premises who failed to comply with an abatement notice served under
sections 92/93, Public Health Act, 1936.
At the Petty Sessions Court, on the 21st April, 1952, a Nuisance
Order was made requiring the owner to carry out works of repair
within 56 days. Failure to comply with the Nuisance Order resulted
in a further hearing at the Petty Sessions Court on the 4th September,
1952, when the owner was fined £5, with three guineas costs, with a
continuing fine of 10s. per day until the date of commencement of
repairs at the property.
Proceedings in respect of four other premises were taken against
the owner, following the service of statutory notices under the Provisions
of the Public Health Act, 1936. At the Petty Sessions Court
on the 21st April, 1952, the owner was fined £2 10s. Od. in respect
of five summonses, and the Court granted Nuisance Orders for the
work required.
