What termination of enforcement means
A ruling imposing an administrative penalty does not end with its issue — enforcement begins after that. Sometimes, though, a circumstance arises after which enforcement loses its legal foundation or simply loses its point. Article 286 of the Administrative Offences Code of Georgia exists for exactly those situations. It lists the cases in which the body or official that issued the ruling terminates its enforcement. The terminology matters here and is often confused. Termination is not the same as suspension, and it is not postponement. Where enforcement is suspended or postponed, it stops for a time and then resumes; where it is terminated, it does not continue. So if a circumstance covered by Article 286 has arisen in your situation, the question is not how much longer you have but whether enforcement should be carried on at all.
