EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations.)


These Regulations provide for modifications and amendments in relation to the temporary compensation payment scheme ("the scheme") under section 26 of the Child Support, Pensions and Social Security Act (Northern Ireland) 2000 ("the Act"). The scheme makes provision for certain cases where there has been a delay in the making of a maintenance assessment under the Child Support (Northern Ireland) Order 1991 (S.I. 1991/2628 (N.I. 23)) leading to arrears of child support maintenance.

Regulation 1 makes provision for citation and commencement.

Regulation 2 modifies section 26 of the Act so that it has effect as if later dates were substituted in subsection (5) of that section, being the dates before which an agreement must be entered into and expire.

Regulation 3 amends regulation 3 of the Child Support (Temporary Compensation Payment Scheme) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2001 by substituting a later prescribed date for the purposes of section 26(1)(a) of the Act, being the date before which a maintenance assessment must be made for the scheme to apply.

These Regulations do not impose costs on business.
