This Order amends the Penalties for Disorderly Behaviour (Amount of Penalty) Order 2002 (S.I. 2002/1837) to provide that a lower penalty is payable by a person who was aged under 16 at the time he committed the offence giving rise to the penalty notice. It also makes an amendment to Part II of Schedule to substitute a reference to the offence of consumption of intoxicating liquor by a person under the age of 18. It revokes and replaces the Penalties for Disorderly Behaviour (Amount of Penalty)(Amendment No.3) Order 2004 which contained an error.
