Explanatory Memorandum to Waste (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) Order 2007 Explanatory Memorandum

Article 13 – Unregistered transport: defence of acting under employer’s instruction

Under Article 38 of the 1997 Order, it is an offence for anyone who is not a registered carrier of controlled waste to transport such waste within Northern Ireland in the course of any business of his or otherwise with a view to profit. Article 13 amends Article 38 of the 1997 Order so as to remove the defence of acting under one’s employer’s instructions.
