# The County Court (Amendment No. 2) Rules 1993, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Rules)
Following the establishment by the Road Traffic Act 1991 of a new regime for the enforcement of parking charges in London which removes enforcement proceedings from the jurisdiction of magistrates' courts, these Rules amend the County Court Rules 1981 so as to enable local authorities to issue court orders to recover certain parking charges and to provide for such orders to be enforced.
The rule amendments provided by this instrument are to be read with three other instruments. Article 5 of the High Court and County Courts Jurisdiction (Amendment) Order 1993, S.I. 1993/1407, gives Cardiff County Court exclusive jurisdiction to deal with the initial processing of orders. The Enforcement of Road Traffic Debts Order 1993, S.I. 1993/2073 (L.18), provides requirements to be satisfied before enforcement proceedings are taken and enables warrants to be executed by certificated bailiffs; the Order also modifies the County Courts Act 1984 in its application to enforcement by certificated bailiffs. The Enforcement of Road Traffic Debts (Certificated Bailiffs) Regulations 1993, S.I. 1993/2072 (L.17), provide the mechanism for certificating bailiffs for Road Traffic purposes.
