Recovery of penalty

This section has no associated Explanatory Notes

7(1)A penalty is recoverable by the enforcement authority that imposed it, if the county court so orders, as if it were payable under an order of that court.

(2)In proceedings before the county court for the recovery of a penalty, a certificate that—

(a)is signed by the chief finance officer of the authority that imposed the penalty, and

(b)states that the amount due has not been received by a date specified in the certificate,

is evidence of that fact.

(3)A certificate to that effect and purporting to be so signed is to be treated as being so signed unless the contrary is proved.

(4)In this paragraph “chief finance officer” has the same meaning as in section 5 of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989.
