(This note is not part of these Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Road User Charging Schemes (Penalty Charges, Adjudication and Enforcement) (England) Regulations 2013 (the “Enforcement Regulations”).
Regulation 3 amends regulation 6 of the Enforcement Regulations to replace the definition of vehicles that are on hire taken from section 66 of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 with the one taken from paragraph 13 of Schedule 4 to the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012. The wording of regulation 6(5) is substituted to take account of this change.
Regulation 4 amends regulation 9 the Enforcement Regulations to provide for the refund of not only the penalty charge but also (if applicable) any road user charge paid in circumstances where the charging authority accepts that a ground in regulation (8)(3) of the Enforcement Regulations has been established and cancels a penalty charge notice.
A regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has negligible impact on the costs of business. An Explanatory Memorandum is available alongside the instrument on the UK legislation website, www.legslation.gov.uk.
