Which action is typically performed to inform a party of contravention before enforcement action?

Informing a party of a contravention is done through a formal notice that clearly identifies what is wrong and what corrective action is needed. This step gives the affected person a chance to respond or fix the issue before any enforcement measures are applied. In practice, a notice of violation (or contravention notice) is issued to communicate the specific violation and the required remedy, along with a reasonable deadline. If the party complies, enforcement can be avoided; if not, further enforcement steps such as orders or penalties may follow. A court order is a later enforcement tool, not the initial informing step. A tax bill is unrelated to notifying about a contravention, and a public notice serves the broader public rather than addressing the individual party directly.
