“Old rule about sharing fine defaulters' info with carriers no longer applies”

The chief executive used to be able to give information about people who hadn’t paid their fines to commercial carriers, like airlines or shipping companies. This was part of the Immigration Act 2009. However, this rule doesn’t exist anymore. It was removed on 1 October 2018 when the Customs and Excise Act 2018 came into effect.
