8(1)This paragraph applies if a person who is liable to pay a financial penalty under section 9 does not pay the whole or any part of the penalty in accordance with the final notice imposing it.
(2)The enforcement authority that imposed the financial penalty may recover the penalty or part on the order of the county court as if it were payable under an order of that court.

(a)signed by the chief finance officer of the authority that imposed the penalty, and
(b)states that the amount due has not been received by a date specified in the certificate,
is evidence of that fact.
(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.
(5)In this paragraph, “chief finance officer” has the same meaning as in section 5 of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989.
