102.—(1) Where an attachment of earnings order has been made by a court of summary jurisdiction the employer shall, if he has been served with the order, comply with it; but he shall be under no liability for non-compliance before seven days have elapsed since the service.
(2) If on a pay-day the attachable earnings exceed the sum of—
(a)the protected earnings; and
(b)so much of any amount by which the attachable earnings on any previous pay-day fell short of the protected earnings as has not been made good by virtue of this paragraph on another previous pay-day,
then, in so far as the excess allows, the employer shall deduct from the attachable earnings the amount specified in paragraph (3).
(3) That amount is the sum of—
(a)the normal deduction; and
(b)so much of the normal deduction on any previous pay-day as was not deducted on that day and has not been paid by virtue of this paragraph on any other previous pay-day.
(4) No deduction shall be made on any pay-day when the attachable earnings are equal to, or less than, the protected earnings.
(5) Where a person is served with an attachment of earnings order directed to him and he has not the debtor in his employment,or the debtor subsequently ceases to be in his employment, he shall (in either case), within ten days from the date of service or, as the case may be, the cesser, give notice of that fact to such officer of the court as may be prescribed by magistrates' courts rules.

(7) Any sums paid by the employer under an attachment of earnings order shall be treated as sums paid by the debtor.
(8) On any occasion when the employer makes, in compliance with the order, a deduction from the debtor's earnings—
(a)he shall be entitled to deduct, in addition, £0.50 or such other sum as may be prescribed by judgment enforcement rules towards his clerical and administrative costs; and
(b)he shall give to the payer a statement in writing of the total amount of the deduction.
(9) Any sum deducted by the employer from the debtor's earnings in compliance with the order, but not yet paid to the person mentioned in Article 101(3)(b), shall in the bankruptcy or winding up of the employer be treated as money held by the employer on trust for that person.
