(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Carriers' Liability (Clandestine Entrants and Sale of Transporters) Regulations 2000 (S.I. 2000/685), which concern the penalty for carrying clandestine entrants established by, and the sale of transporters under, Part II of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999. The amendments are made in consequence of the extension of that penalty to the carriage of clandestine entrants in rail freight wagons: see the Carriers' Liability (Clandestine Entrants) (Application to Rail Freight) Regulations 2001 (S.I. 2001/280), which are made under section 39 of the Act.
For the purposes of the extension of the penalty to rail freight, these Regulations apply the provisions of S.I. 2000/685 concerning -
-
the amount of the penalty;
-
the periods of time within which a penalty must be paid and a notice of objection must be given;
-
the notice of a proposed sale of a transporter;
-
the application of the proceeds of sale; and
-
the service of documents.
