Explanatory note

These Regulations amend regulation 41 of the Community Charges (Administration and Enforcement) Regulations 1989 (commitment to prison) so that, in a case where the debtor pays the amount due from him after the authority has applied for the issue of a warrant, but before a warrant is issued, or a term of imprisonment fixed and the issue of a warrant postponed, an authority may also recover reasonable costs in connection with the committal proceedings. The costs are subject to maximum amounts set out in a new Schedule to the 1984 Regulations.
