3.—(1) This regulation applies to a case where—
(a)the Commission is arranging for the collection of child support maintenance under section 29 of the 1991 Act; and
(b)the non-resident parent has failed to make one or more payments of child support maintenance due.
(2) Where the Commission is considering taking action with regard to a case falling within paragraph (1) it must serve a notice on the non-resident parent.
(3) The notice must—
(a)itemize the payments of child support maintenance due and not paid;
(b)set out in general terms the provisions as to arrears contained in this regulation and regulation 8 of the AIMA Regulations(1); and
(c)request the non-resident parent make payment of all outstanding arrears.
(4) Where a notice has been served under paragraph (2), no duty to serve a further notice under that paragraph arises in relation to further arrears unless those further arrears have arisen after an intervening continuous period of not less than 12 weeks during the course of which all payments of child support maintenance due from the non-resident parent have been paid on time in accordance with regulations made under section 29 of the 1991 Act.
Regulation 8 was substituted by S.I. 1995/3261 and amended by S.I. 1996/1345 and 2001/162. References to the Secretary of State in that regulation are treated as references to the Commission by virtue of paragraph 55(3) of Schedule 3 to the 2008 Act, as the function of the Secretary of State was transferred to the Commission by section 13 of that Act.
