    EXPLANATORY NOTE

    (This note is not part of the Order)


    This Order amends the County Court Fees Order 1999 by substituting a new fee 4.10 (requests for orders to recover parking charges). The new fee 4.10 covers the same proceedings as the old fee 4.10 and the amount of the fee is unchanged. However, the new fee 4.10 also applies to requests for orders to recover - 

        
  • an increased penalty charge provided for in a charge certificate issued under paragraph 8 of Schedule 1 to the London Local Authorities Act 1996 (which deals with increased penalty charges for breach of provisions about bus lanes); and

        
  • a fixed penalty payable under a fixed penalty notice issued under regulation 5 of the Road Traffic (Vehicle Emissions) (Fixed Penalty) Regulations 1997 (which deals with the issue of fixed penalty notices for contravention of regulations about vehicle emissions).

    In addition, the reference to a London authority (in relation to adjudication by a parking adjudicator) is replaced by a reference to a local authority as the scheme under the Road Traffic Act 1991 for the enforcement of certain traffic debts through county courts has been extended to areas outside London.
