### sec.120S Warning notice may be given
QCA may give the electricity entity or retailer a notice (the warning notice ) warning the entity or retailer that QCA proposes to give the entity or retailer a further notice about the contravention or likely contravention (a code contravention notice ).
QCA must make the decision about whether to give the warning notice as soon as practicable after forming the suspicion.
However, a failure to comply with subsection (2) does not affect the validity of the warning notice or any subsequent code contravention notice.
Despite subsections (2) and (3) , if the warning notice is proposed to be given for a contravention, it can only be given within 2 years after the day on which the contravention happened.
