Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This amendment to the Fines Collections Regulations 2004 applies the Magistrates' Courts (Attachment of Earnings) Rules 1971 with modifications so as to allow a fines officer to make consolidated attachment orders and for the court to be able to consolidate an attachment order that has previously been made by a fines officer.
Schedule 5 of the Courts Act 2003 creates a new fines collection scheme which is currently being piloted. Part of the scheme being piloted involves the automatic imposition of attachment orders in certain circumstances by an administrative officer (a fines officer). The amendments to the 1971 Rules are required to allow consolidation of such orders.
The Fines Collection Regulations 2004 amended Part 1 of Schedule 3 of the Attachment of Earnings Act 1971 substituting a new table of deductions from earnings. The modification of rule 15(10) of the 1971 Rules is required to allow the consolidation of attachment orders made under the unmodified 1971 Act and attachment orders made under Part 1 of Schedule 3 of the 1971 Act as modified by the 2004 Regulations.
