11.2 Failure on the part of the player or his club secretary to discharge any of the requirements set out at clauses in Sections 5, 6 and 7 above may constitute misconduct, which may result in a further charge against the player, his club, or both.

Failure to respond within the 7 days will result in a further Late Fine of £20 and the Club and Player being suspended after a further 7 days until the provisions above have been complied with. Any punishment imposed for failure to comply will be limited to a financial penalty if the fault of the club, but may include suspension of the player where it is the player’s fault.

(a) whether the player has responded to his club
(b) whether the club has failed to pass on his reply.
