Section 88

Assessment of the regulatory fine against legal persons and associations of persons

(1) If the administrative authority must decide in the regulatory fining proceedings on the assessment of a regulatory fine against a legal person or an association of persons (section 30), that authority is also competent to order participation in the proceedings and the appointment of an attorney, or of any other person who may be appointed as defence counsel (section 444 (1) and section 428 (2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure); section 60 sentence 2 applies accordingly.

(2) The administrative authority assesses the regulatory fine in a separate regulatory fining decision in separate proceedings. The administrative authority which would be competent in case of prosecution of a specific person is competent; local competence also lies with the administrative authority in the district of which the legal person or association of persons has its seat or branch.

(3) Section 87 (2) sentences 1 and 2, and subsection (5), apply accordingly.
