Where the clerk of a court of summary jurisdiction (C) receives a registration document in respect of the penalty specified in a fixed penalty notice given to a person (P), the registration document must be dealt with in accordance with this paragraph.

That duty applies whether C receives the registration document under paragraph 8 or 9, this paragraph or paragraph 11.

If it appears to C that P resides in the area of the court, C must register the amount of the penalty for enforcement as a fine by that court.

If it appears to C that P resides in Scotland but not in the area of C's court, C must send the registration document to the clerk of a court of summary jurisdiction for the area in which P appears to reside.

If it appears to C that P resides in England and Wales, C must send the registration document to the designated officer for the local justice area in which P appears to C to reside.

If it appears to C that P resides in Northern Ireland, C must send the registration document to the clerk of petty sessions.

If the registration document is not dealt with under any of sub-paragraphs (3) to (6), it must be dealt with under sub-paragraphs (8) to (11).

If the fixed penalty offence was committed in the area of the court, C must register the amount of the penalty for enforcement as a fine by that court.

If the fixed penalty offence was committed in Scotland but not in the area of C's court, C must send the registration document to the clerk of a court of summary jurisdiction for the area in which the offence was committed.

If the fixed penalty offence was committed in England and Wales, C must send the registration document to the designated officer for the local justice area in which the offence was committed.

If the fixed penalty offence was committed in Northern Ireland, C must send the registration document to the clerk of petty sessions.

If C registers the amount of the penalty for enforcement as a fine under this paragraph, C must give P notice of the registration.

On the registration of the amount of the penalty for enforcement as a fine by a court of summary jurisdiction, any enactment referring (in whatever terms) to a fine imposed or other sum adjudged to be paid on the conviction of a court of summary jurisdiction is to have effect in the case in question as if the amount so registered were a fine imposed by the court of summary jurisdiction on the conviction of P on the date of the registration.

The reference in sub-paragraph (14) to any enactment includes any enactment comprised in, or in an instrument made under, an Act of the Scottish Parliament.
