PART 4Enforcement
Recovering penalties9
1
The registrar may recover any of the amount of the financial penalty and any interest that has not been paid if—
a
no appeal relating to the financial penalty has been brought under regulation 8 during the period within which such an appeal may be brought; or
b
an appeal has been determined or withdrawn.
2
In England and Wales, and in Northern Ireland, the amount of the financial penalty is recoverable as if it were payable under an order of the High Court.
3
In Scotland, the financial penalty may be enforced in the same manner as an extract registered decree arbitral bearing a warrant for execution issued by the Sheriff Court of any sheriffdom in Scotland.
4
Where action is taken under this regulation for the recovery of a sum payable under a penalty notice, the financial penalty is—
a
in relation to England and Wales, to be treated for the purposes of section 98 of the Courts Act 20035 as if it were a judgment entered in the High Court, and
b
in relation to Northern Ireland, to be treated for the purposes of Article 116 of the Judgments Enforcement (Northern Ireland) Order 19816 as if it were a judgment in respect of which an application has been accepted under Article 22 or 23(1) of that Order.
