Regulation 2(2) of these Regulations, which come into force on 1st May 2002, amends regulations 4(1) and 5 of the International Criminal Court Act 2001 (Enforcement of Fines, Forfeiture and Reparation Orders) Regulations 2001 (“the 2001 Regulations”) to specify that applications for registrations of fines, forfeitures or reparation orders should be made to the High Court (rather than any court). Regulation 2(3) replaces regulation 4(2) of the 2001 Regulations to remove the possible suggestion that a court is under a duty to register an Order.
