Textual Amendments
F1Sch. 12 Pt. 1 expires (except for Sch. 12 paras. 3(2)(3), 10, 13, 18) (17.7.2021) by virtue of The Coronavirus Act 2020 (Early Expiry) Regulations 2021 (S.I. 2021/856), reg. 4(a) (see 2020 c. 7, s. 89(2)(r))
10(1)This paragraph applies where—E+W
(a)at any time during an emergency period, a local authority begins to meet needs under section 18, 19, 20 or 62 of CA 2014,
(b)at that time, the authority would have been entitled to make a charge under section 14 of that Act for meeting any of those needs, but
(c)the authority decided not to carry out an assessment under section 17 of that Act before beginning to meet those needs.
In this paragraph “emergency period”, in relation to section 18, 19, 20 or 62 of CA 2014, means a period for which paragraph 4, 5, 6 or (as the case may be) 9 of this Schedule has effect.
(2)The local authority is not prevented by that decision from subsequently carrying out an assessment under section 17 of CA 2014 (whether during or after the emergency period) and deciding to make a charge for meeting those needs during that period; and nothing in that section is to be taken to prevent the authority from carrying out such an assessment, even though the authority has already begun to meet, or has met, those needs.
(3)In so far as there is any charge for meeting any needs under section 18 or 19(2) of CA 2014 during the emergency period, the fact that condition 1, 2 or 3 in section 18 of that Act is not met at the time of the making of the charge does not affect anything already done under section 18 or (as the case may be) 19(2) of that Act.
(4)In so far as there is any charge for meeting any needs under section 20(1) of CA 2014 during the emergency period, the fact that condition 1, 2, 3 or 4 in that section is not met at the time of the making of the charge does not affect anything already done under that section.
