The Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Act 2008 (Amendment to Schedule 3) (England) Order 2021

This Order amends Schedule 3 to the Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Act 2008 (c. 13) (“the Act”), adding Part 2A of the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 as it applies in England to the list in that Schedule. Enactments listed in Schedule 3, and the provisions of any secondary legislation made under a listed Act, are “relevant enactments” for the purposes of the definition in section 4 of the Act of a “relevant function” of a local authority in England or Wales. The definition of “relevant function” applies for the purposes of Parts 1 and 2 of the Act. It covers particular regulatory functions under any “relevant enactment” in relation to any activity, such as a statutory function of giving guidance in relation to an activity. It also covers functions relating to (broadly speaking) the enforcement of any restrictions or requirements which, under or by virtue of any “relevant enactment”, relate to an activity.
