art 32 Immobilisation of vehicles illegally parked

(1) If a vehicle is left on the harbour premises in contravention of article 31 an authorised officer of the Commissioners may— (a) fix an immobilisation device to the vehicle while it remains in the place in which the authorised officer found it; or (b) move it from that place to another place on the harbour premises and fix an immobilisation device to it in that other place. (2) The person fixing the device must also affix to the vehicle a notice— (a) indicating that such a device has been fixed to the vehicle and warning that no attempt should be made to drive it or otherwise put it in motion until it has been released from that device; (b) specifying the steps to be taken in order to secure its release; and (c) giving such other information as may be prescribed by the Commissioners. (3) A vehicle to which an immobilisation device has been fixed in accordance with this article may only be released from that device by or under the direction of a person authorised by the Commissioners to give such a direction. (4) Subject to paragraph (3), a vehicle to which an immobilisation device has been fixed in accordance with this article must be released from that device on payment in any manner specified in the notice affixed under paragraph (2), of such charge in respect of the release as the Commissioners may prescribe. (5) Any person who, without being authorised to do so in accordance with paragraph (3), removes or attempts to remove an immobilisation device fixed to a vehicle in accordance with this article is guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale. (6) Where a vehicle is moved in accordance with this article before an immobilisation device is fixed to it, any power of removal under article 31 which was exercisable in respect of that vehicle immediately before it was moved continues to be exercisable while the vehicle remains in the place to which it was moved. (7) In this article “immobilisation device” (“ dyfais atal symud ”) means any device or appliance which is approved as an immobilisation device for the purposes of section 104 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 .
