Changes and effects yet to be applied to Section 33:

Changes and effects yet to be applied to the whole Act associated Parts and Chapters:

Whole provisions yet to be inserted into this Act (including any effects on those provisions):

33 Liability orders.E+W+S

(1)This section applies where—

(a)a person who is liable to make payments of child support maintenance (“the liable person”) fails to make one or more of those payments; and

(b)it appears to the [F1Secretary of State] that—

(i)it is inappropriate to make a deduction from earnings order against him (because, for example, he is not employed); or

(ii)although such an order has been made against him, it has proved ineffective as a means of securing that payments are made in accordance with the [F2maintenance calculation] in question.

(2)The [F3Secretary of State] may apply to a magistrates’ court or, in Scotland, to the sheriff for an order (“a liability order”) against the liable person.

(3)Where the [F3Secretary of State] applies for a liability order, the magistrates’ court or (as the case may be) sheriff shall make the order if satisfied that the payments in question have become payable by the liable person and have not been paid.

(4)On an application under subsection (2), the court or (as the case may be) the sheriff shall not question the [F2maintenance calculation] under which the payments of child support maintenance fell to be made.

[F4(5)If the [F5Secretary of State] designates a liability order for the purposes of this subsection it shall be treated as a judgment entered in a county court for the purposes of [F6section 98 of the Courts Act 2003 (register of judgments and orders etc)].]

[F7(6)Where regulations have been made under section 29(3)(a)—

(a)the liable person fails to make a payment (for the purposes of subsection (1)(a) of this section); and

(b)a payment is not paid (for the purposes of subsection (3)),

unless the payment is made to, or through, the person specified in or by virtue of those regulations for the case of the liable person in question.]
