None of this is directly enshrinded in law that has been passed by Parliament, other than the general notion (as far as I am aware) that the response to infringements will be determined by the CAA - in other words the CAA will be trusted to come up with a satisfactory response. Isnt that a bit different and possibly why some are say a higher standard of scrutiny is required?
The UK ANO is UK Law and the Authority vested in the CAA and the Secretary of State for Transport is enshrined within it. So if you infringe then you are deemed to have broken the UK ANO and so, with the powers given to the CAA/SofS within the ANO, they can act as authorised. Article 253 of the ANO details the powers of the CAA.
