Domestic Waste: Fixed Penalties
Mr. Stewart Jackson:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what assessment the Government have made of the merits of introducing a statutory appeals process for fixed penalty notices issued under the Clean Neighbourhood and Environment Act 2005. [294900]
26 Oct 2009 : Column 44W
Jim Fitzpatrick:
The Government do not consider that a statutory appeals process for fixed penalty notices is needed.
Fixed penalty notices for offences, such as littering, are issued as an alternative to prosecution in a magistrates court. Accepting and paying a fixed penalty notice removes all liability for the offence. An individual served with a notice may choose instead to have their case tried in court.
