EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of these Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Road User Charging (Enforcement and Adjudication) (London) Regulations 2001 (S.I. 2001/2313) (“the 2001 Regulations”). The 2001 Regulations set out the procedure for the enforcement and adjudication of road user charging schemes in Greater London under Schedule 23 to the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (c. 29). In particular, the 2001 Regulations cover appeals against determinations and the appointment of adjudicators to hear such appeals.

These Regulations amend the 2001 Regulations by substituting a reference to satisfying a “judicial appointment eligibility condition” in place of a reference to having a qualification mentioned in section 71 of the Courts and Legal Services Act 1990 (c. 41) for appointment as an adjudicator.
