25.—(1) The Authority may, in any case where it is of the opinion that any person is responsible for causing a private street or any part thereof to be in a dangerous or defective condition, by notice require the person not to make further use of the private street for the purpose of transporting any matter, material or thing until such deposit as may be required under subsection (2) has been made with the Authority. (2) The Authority may, by written order, require any person who has been served with a notice under subsection (1) to deposit with the Authority such sum as may be required for causing the street to be properly repaired. (3) The Authority must, in making an order under subsection (2), have regard to the costs and expenses that would have to be incurred if it should cause the work to be done. (4) If a notice under subsection (1) is not complied with, the person who has been served with the notice shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction —(a) to a fine not exceeding $5,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months or to both; (b) to a further fine not exceeding $500 for every day during which the notice was not complied with; and (c) to a further fine not exceeding $500 for every day during which the contravention of subsection (1) continues after conviction. (5) The certificate of the Authority stating that it is of the opinion that the person named in the certificate is responsible for causing a private street or any part thereof to be in a dangerous or defective condition is conclusive evidence for the purpose of any prosecution under this section.
