EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order is made under section 3(1) of the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001 (c.16) and amends the Penalties for Disorderly Behaviour (Amount of Penalty) Order 2002 (S.I. 2002/1837) (“the 2002 Order”).

Article 3 of this Order amends the 2002 Order with the effect that the penalties payable in respect of penalty offences are increased. The term “penalty offence” is defined in section 1 of the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001. This Order raises the penalties by £10; from £80 to £90 in the case of a penalty offence falling within Part 1 of the Schedule to the 2002 Order; and from £50 to £60 in the case of a penalty offence falling within Part 2 of the Schedule to the 2002 Order.

Article 4 provides that the amendments to the 2002 Order in article 3 will not apply to an offence alleged to have been committed before 1st July 2013. The amounts specified in the 2002 Order applicable before that date will continue to apply in respect of that conduct.

This Order supersedes the Penalties for Disorderly Behaviour (Amount of Penalty) (Amendment) Order 2013 (S.I. 2013/1165) and is being issued free of charge to all known recipients of that Order.
