CH402701 | Charging Penalties: establishing penalty behaviour: evaluating evidence: introduction

You will have to present your manager and authorising officer with a sound, evidence-based argument to support your view of the penalty behaviour.

This should take into account:

• the evidence you have obtained on how and why the inaccuracy, failure to notify or wrongdoing happened, see CH402301 to CH402305 for examples of questions to establish behaviour

• any other relevant information, see CH402702

• your response to any counter-arguments to your view of the penalty behaviour put forward by the person

The following sections of this guidance are designed to help you evaluate the evidence and reach a conclusion on behaviour

Each section provides links to more detailed explanations of types of behaviour in the technical guidance.
