Additional, the particular person lodging the Report shall decide the place on the vary of severity the conduct lays, with the vary of severity beginning at conduct of a minor nature (and therefore a Degree 1 offence) as much as conduct of an especially severe nature (and therefore a Degree 4 offence).
