In view of the requirement under s.15(6)(a) that a notice must “state why the Secretary of State thinks the employer is liable to the penalty”, is the penalty notice invalid if it does not identify which of the grounds in s.15(1) applies (i.e. by specifying the circumstances in which a person subject to immigration control has no right to work)?
