(1) A plumbing inspector must not give an owner or occupier of any land or building a plumbing notice or a plumbing order in relation to any plumbing work unless either—
(a) the inspector served a rectification notice in relation to the work on the plumber responsible for the work, and it is clear that that notice will not be complied with; or
(b) the inspector is satisfied that it is either not possible or not appropriate to serve a rectification notice in relation to the work on the plumber responsible for the work.
(2) A plumbing inspector must not give an owner or occupier of any land or building an emergency plumbing order in relation to any plumbing work that makes a requirement under section 221ZZF(2)(a) unless the inspector is satisfied that the emergency plumbing order is likely to be complied with more quickly than a rectification notice in relation to the work would be complied with.
