How it generally works
Many sectors have their own regulators with powers to inspect, investigate and impose penalties under their governing statutes.
Proceedings usually begin with a show-cause notice, followed by a reply and, often, a personal hearing before an order is passed.
Orders can generally be appealed to a specified appellate authority or tribunal.
