Lapse of deduction from earnings ordersE+W+S
21.—(1) A deduction from earnings order shall lapse (except in relation to any deductions made or to be made in respect of the employment not yet paid to the Secretary of State) where the employer at whom it is directed ceases to have the liable person in his employment.
(2) The order shall lapse from the pay-day coinciding with, or, if none, the pay-day following, the termination of the employment.
(3) A deduction from earnings order which has lapsed under this regulation shall nonetheless be treated as remaining in force for the purposes of regulations 15 and 24.
(4) Where a deduction from earnings order has lapsed under paragraph (1) and the liable person recommences employment (whether with the same or another employer), the order may be revived from such date as may be specified by the Secretary of State.
(5) Where a deduction from earnings order is revived under paragraph (4), the Secretary of State shall give written notice of that fact to, and serve a copy of the notice on, the liable person and the liable person’s employer.
(6) Where an order is revived under paragraph (4), no amount shall be carried forward under regulation 12(4) [F1or (5)] from a time prior to the revival of the order.
