(2) The relevant officer shall not impose a financial penalty in respect of any failure to comply with a requirement in this Ordinance or a breach of a management agreement unless the relevant officer has notified the operator of the failure or the breach, as the case may be, and where it is capable of being remedied, afforded the operator a reasonable opportunity to comply with the requirement or remedy the breach.
