Regulation 36 Attachment of earnings orders: ancillary powers and duties of authority

Where the whole amount to which an attachment of earnings order relates has been paid (whether by attachment of earnings or otherwise), the authority by which it was made shall give notice of that fact to any person who appears to it to have the debtor in his employment and who has been served with a copy of the order.

The authority by which an attachment of earnings order was made may, on its own account or on the application of the debtor or an employer of the debtor, make an order discharging the attachment of earnings order; and if it does so it shall give notice of that fact to any person who appears to it to have the debtor in his employment and who has been served with a copy of the order.

If an authority serves a copy of an attachment of earnings order in accordance with regulation 32(3), it shall (unless it has previously done so) also serve a copy of the order on the debtor.
