s 37Compounding of offences

(1)

The Authority may compound any offence against this Act or any regulations made thereunder which is prescribed to be a compoundable offence by collecting from the person reasonably suspected of having committed that offence, a sum not exceeding one-half of the amount of the maximum fine that is prescribed as the offence.

(2)

On payment of such sum of money, no further proceedings shall be taken against such person in respect of the offence except that any

Environmental Protection and Management compensation, damages, fees, costs or expenses which are provided to be paid under this Act or any regulations made thereunder shall remain payable.

(3)

Nothing in this section shall prevent the Authority from issuing any further notice in respect of the same matter to the person who has paid such sum of money.
