Recovery of financial penalty9

1

This regulation applies if a person does not pay the whole or any part of a financial penalty which, in accordance with these Regulations, that person is liable to pay.

2

The Secretary of State may recover the penalty or part on the order of the county court as if it were payable under an order of that court.

3

In proceedings before the county court for the recovery of a financial penalty or part of a financial penalty, a certificate which—

a

is signed by the Secretary of State (including any person authorised to act in the name of the Secretary of State for this purpose); and

b

states that the amount due has not been received by a date specified in the certificate,

is conclusive evidence that the amount has not been received by that date.

4

A certificate to that effect and purporting to be so signed is to be treated as being so signed, unless the contrary is proved.
