Any order made by a magistrates' court directing the payment of money to the clerk or any other officer of a magistrates' court acting for a petty sessional division shall have effect on and after 1st April 1986 as if it had directed payment to be made to the clerk to the justices for the respective new petty sessions area.

Where in consequence of paragraph (1) above periodical payments under section 59 of the Magistrates' Courts Act 1980 are payable to a person through the clerk to the justices for a respective new petty sessions area in which the person concerned does not reside, the clerk may amend the order so as to require the payments to be made through the clerk to the justices for the petty sessions area in which the person does reside and, if the clerk does so amend the order, he shall give notice of the amendment to the person entitled to the payments, to the person required to make the payments and to the justices' clerk through whom the payments are to be made.
