Article 7 Power to make charges
Subject to paragraph (2) below, the Council may make such reasonable charges as they think fit for services and facilities provided by them in connection with their undertaking at the City Docks as from time to time authorised, including requirements as to the payment of interest on overdue charges.
Paragraph (1) above does not authorise the levying of ship, passenger and goods dues within the meaning of the Harbours Act 1964.
Nothing in this article shall affect the power to demand, take or recover charges which the Council have under or by virtue of any enactment.
Without prejudice to any enactment relating to the payment or recovery of charges due to the Council—
sections 27 to 41 and 44 to 46 of the Harbours, Docks, and Piers Clauses Act 1847f1 (which provide for various matters connected with liability for and collection of rates to be taken by the undertakers), as incorporated with or applied by any enactment relating to the Council; and
section 17 of the 1961 Act (recovery of rates),
shall apply to charges made under paragraph (1) above as they apply to rates payable to the Council.
