In our view no.
The only two things that attract a penalty are failing to comply with the initial requirements of a scheme and failing to provide prescribed information.
Therefore, as long as it was protected and the full prescribed information was provided for the correct scheme within 30 days, in our view no penalty is payable.
However, as yet it hasn’t been tested to our knowledge.
