The Road Traffic (Financial Penalty Deposit) (Interest) Order (Northern Ireland) 2012
This Order provides for the calculation of interest for the purposes of Part IVA of the Road Traffic Offenders Order (Northern Ireland) 1996 (“the 1996 Order”), as inserted by Article 12 of the Road Traffic (Northern Ireland) Order 2007. Part IVA provides that, in certain circumstances, a constable or vehicle examiner may impose a financial penalty deposit on a person without a satisfactory UK address who has been given either notice of likely proceedings or a fixed penalty notice in respect of a road traffic offence. The amount of the deposit (defined as the “appropriate amount” in Article 91C(2) of the 1996 Order) is set out in the Road Traffic (Financial Penalty Deposit) (Appropriate Amount) Order (Northern Ireland) 2012 (S.R. 2012 No. 18).
