ECH21130 - Penalties: The Expected Offer - Problems
Guidance on expected offers and possible problems can be found
in the Enquiry Manual at EM6000 onwards.
These include
- departure from the expected offer
- culpability disputed
- lack of response, no co-operation
- inadequate means
- bankruptcy.
Normally there will have been warning of these difficulties
during the review. Prior approval for alternative offers will
therefore have been considered.
Where there are any doubts the ECO or ECTM should
- withdraw and speak to the ECUM.
TAA (Newcastle) is available to advise local management.
