Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Collection of Fines (Pilot Schemes) Order 2004 (“the 2004 Order”). The 2004 Order established schemes for the piloting of different provisions of the fines collection scheme contained in Schedule 5 of the Courts Act 2003. The Collection of Fines (Pilot Schemes) (Amendment) Order 2005 (“the 2005 Order”) along with the addition in this Order (which was inadvertently omitted from the 2005 Order) amends the local pilot scheme in light of evaluation of those pilots.

This Order comes into effect after the 2005 Order comes into force on 1st April 2005. Therefore article 2 of this Order amends the text substituted into the 2004 Order by the 2005 Order.

Article 2 allows for further steps to be implemented by the Fines Officer in a case where an attachment to earnings order or a deductions from benefit application has failed.
