(This note is not part of the Order.)
Articles 36 to 38 of the Road Traffic Offenders (Northern Ireland) Order 1996, give a court power to order that the period of disqualification imposed on a person convicted of a prescribed drink-drive offence is to be reduced if he completes a course approved by the Department of the Environment. Article 39 of the Offenders Order applies those provisions with modification during an experimental period. In particular, during the experimental period, orders can be made only by a court of summary jurisdiction acting for a designated district.
This Order designates petty sessions districts specified in the Schedule for the purposes of Article 39 of the Offenders Order and specifies the period for which they are designated.
