• Applying for civil orders to provide an appropriate degree of protection for consumers.
• Requiring compensation to redress the consequences of misconduct, where appropriate.
High level strategic oversight of Enforcement’s case work is provided by a Project Board made up of EMO’s Divisional Leadership Team. Project teams regularly attend Project Boards to provide updates to the Divisional Leadership Team and receive advice on case direction.
