<p>In England and Wales, there is no minimum, and no maximum level of fine which would
be due on conviction of reporting misleading, false or deceptive payment practices
or performance under the Regulations. This reflects the changes to maximum fines which
may be imposed on summary conviction in England and Wales under the Legal Aid, Sentencing
and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012. In Scotland and Northern Ireland, fines cannot
exceed Level 5 of the Standard Scale. The Government has no plans to take or recommend
other disciplinary action against firms or individual persons.</p>
