stop notice 1. A court procedure available to protect those who have an interest in shares but have not been registered as company members. The notice prevents the company from registering a transfer of the shares or paying a dividend upon them without informing the server of the notice. 2. A notice served by a local planning authority when they consider that any activity specified in an enforcement notice should be prevented before the time for compliance given by that notice. It takes effect on a date specified therein, which is 3 to 28 days after service, and a site notice may be posted, drawing attention to its provisions. Note also the existence of a temporary stop notice under section 171E of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. This requires that an activity that is a breach of planning control should stop immediately. A temporary stop notice must state the date the notice has been served, the activity that has to cease, and that any person contravening it may be prosecuted for an offence. |
