Collection Orders: Minor and Consequential Amendments Paragraph 7: Justice Act (Northern Ireland) 2011
This paragraph amends the 2001 Act to change the time limits for registration of a fixed penalty (para. 7(1)), to provide for the clerk of petty sessions to refer the case to a district judge (magistrates’ courts) to decide whether to impose a collection order when a fixed penalty is registered (para. 7(2)), to allow a collection order to be included as a method of enforcing payment of the sum (para. 7(3) & (4)) and to provide a definition of “collection order” within that Act (para. 7(5)).
