Enforcement Action Relief

Definition

Enforcement action relief refers to a mitigation or exemption granted by a regulatory authority from penalties or legal proceedings related to non-compliance with existing rules. This relief might be offered under specific circumstances, such as a company proactively addressing past violations or operating within a novel, evolving regulatory landscape. It aims to provide a pathway for entities to achieve compliance without incurring severe punitive measures. Such provisions can facilitate innovation while still upholding regulatory objectives.
