Introduction
1.These Explanatory Notes relate to the Caravans Act (Northern Ireland) 2011 which received Royal Assent on 16 March 2011. They have been prepared by the Department for Social Development, on behalf of John McCallister MLA, in order to assist the reader in understanding the Act. They do not form part of the Act and have not been endorsed by the Northern Ireland Assembly.
2.The notes need to be read in conjunction with the Act. They do not, and are not meant to be, a comprehensive description of the Act. So where a section or part of a section or Schedule does not seem to require an explanation or comment, none is given.
