  "text": "(1) A regular deduction order is to lapse in the circumstances set out in paragraph (2).\n(2) The circumstances are where—\n(a) the Secretary of State has agreed with the liable person an alternative method of payment of the child support maintenance due under the maintenance calculation; ...\n(b) there is an insufficient amount standing to the credit of the account specified in the order to enable a deduction to be made on two consecutive deduction dates, unless the Secretary of State has decided that the order is to continue for a greater number of deduction dates; or\n(c) the Secretary of State—\n(i) is satisfied that the liable person has ceased making contributions to the account; or\n(ii) has reason to believe that the liable person will cease making contributions to the account in the next deduction period,\nand the Secretary of State considers it is reasonable in all the circumstances that the order is to lapse.\n(3) A regular deduction order lapses on the day on which the deposit-taker receives notification that the order has lapsed from the Secretary of State.\n(4) A regular deduction order which has lapsed under this regulation is to be treated as remaining in force for the purposes of regulations 25E (notification by the deposit-taker to the Secretary of State), 25G (review of a regular deduction order) and 25AB (appeals).\n(5) This regulation applies to a regular deduction order whether or not made in respect of a joint account, except for paragraph (2)(c) which applies to a regular deduction order made in respect of a joint account only.",
