Subsection (5) of that section provides that for the purposes of that section the administrative functions of justices' clerks are all of their functions apart from those which are legal functions within the meaning given by section 48(2) of the Justices of the Peace Act 1997 (c.25), as substituted by section 89(1) of the 1999 Act.

The Regulations revoke the Road Traffic (Owner Liability) (Amendment) Regulations 2001 which contained an incorrect reference to the 2000 Regulations (which were not published).
