(This note is not part of the Order.)

Article 6 of the Litter (Northern Ireland) Order 1994 makes provision for the payment of a fixed penalty to discharge any liability to conviction for the offence of leaving litter under Article 3 or permitting dogs to foul under Article 4 of that Order.

This Order increases the amount of the fixed penalty from £25 to £50.

This Order revokes the Litter (Fixed Penalty) Order (Northern Ireland) 1998, which had increased the fixed penalty from £10 to £25.
