Where a charge certificate has been served on any person and the increased penalty charge provided for in the certificate is not paid before the end of the period of 14 days beginning with the date on which the certificate is served, TfL may, if a county court so orders, recover the increased charge as if it were payable under a county court order.

Invalid notices

12

  • (b) the person against whom it is made makes a statutory declaration complying with sub-paragraph (2); and

  • (b) made representations to TfL under paragraph 6 but did not receive a notice of rejection; or
  • (c) appealed to an adjudicator under paragraph 9 against the rejection by TfL of representations made by that person under paragraph 6 but had no response to the appeal.
  • (3) Sub-paragraph (4) applies where it appears to a county court, on the application of a person on whom a charge certificate has been served, that it would be unreasonable in the circumstances of that person's case to insist on that person serving a statutory declaration within the period of 21 days allowed for by sub-paragraph (1).
  • (4) Where this sub-paragraph applies, the county court may allow such longer period for service of the statutory declaration as the county court considers appropriate.
  • (5) Where a statutory declaration is served under sub-paragraph (1)(c)—

  • (d) the district judge must serve written notice of the effect of service of the declaration on the person making it and on TfL.
  • (6) Service of a declaration under sub-paragraph (2)(a) must not be taken to prevent TfL from serving a fresh penalty charge notice on the same or another person.
  • (7) Where a declaration has been served under sub-paragraph (2)(b) or (c), TfL must refer the case to the adjudicator who may give such directions as the adjudicator considers appropriate.

Enforcement by execution

13
  • (1) Subject to sub-paragraph (2)—
  • (a) an unpaid penalty charge which is recoverable in accordance with paragraph 11 as if it were payable under a county court order; and
  • (b) a sum to be paid by a person (other than TfL) under an adjudication of an adjudicator which is recoverable in accordance with paragraph 14 as if it were payable under a county court order,

is to be treated for purposes of enforcement by execution as if it was a specified debt in the Enforcement of Road Traffic Debts Order 1993 (“the 1993 Order”) .

  • (2) For the purposes of the enforcement of an unpaid penalty charge referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(a) or the enforcement of the payment of a sum referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(b)—
  • (a) any reference in the 1993 Order to “the authority” is to be treated as a reference to TfL; and
  • (b) the reference in article 3(1) of the 1993 Order to “the time for serving a statutory declaration” is to be treated as a reference to, as the case may be—
  • (i) the period of 21 days allowed by paragraph 12(1)(c); or
  • (ii) where a longer period has been allowed pursuant to paragraph 12(4), that period.
14

Any amount which is payable under an adjudication must, if a county court so rules, be recoverable by the person to whom the amount is payable, as if it were payable under a county court order.

Service by post

15

Any penalty charge notice, charge certificate or other notice under this Schedule may be served by post (or in such other form as is agreed between the person to be served and TfL) and, where the person on whom it is to be served is a body corporate, is duly served if it is sent by post to the secretary or clerk of that body.

Procedure

16
