Article 14 explained in plain English
After Article 13 assigns recording violations to specialized employees, this article regulates the next stage, which is investigation and prosecution.
The article does not itself set these procedures, but refers to the Implementing Regulations the determination of two matters:
- The investigation and prosecution procedures for violations.
- The body that carries them out.
The Law does not state the name of the body that investigates or prosecutes laboratory violations, and the reference on that is the Implementing Regulations.
This regulation runs in the Law as follows: the violation is recorded by specialized employees under Article 13, then investigation and prosecution under what the Regulations determine according to this article, then adjudication of the violation suit and imposing penalties, which under Article 15 is within the jurisdiction of the Board of Grievances.
A person being investigated for a violation of this Law can consult a lawyer specializing in administrative cases to learn his rights in the procedures.
