Article 36 of the Road Traffic Offenders (Northern Ireland) Order 1996 empowers a court to make an order requiring a person who has been convicted of a drink-drive offence to attend a rehabilitation course. Article 39(1) of that Order, as subsequently modified by order, restricts the exercise of this power to an experimental period terminating at the end of 2005, and during that period to the trial of certain offences in designated courts, unless those restrictions are removed by an order made under paragraph (2). This Order removes the restriction.
By virtue of the Courses for Drink-Drive Offenders (Experimental Period) (Extension) Order (Northern Ireland) 2000 (S.R. 2000 No. 395) the time specified in paragraph (1) was amended to the end of 2005
