Child Support Act 1991

Collection of financial support - Mandatory relief in respect of incremental penalties

135N: Relief from ongoing incremental penalties if deduction notice in force

You could also call this:

“This old rule about stopping extra fines when money is taken from your pay doesn't apply anymore.”

This part of the law used to talk about how you could get relief from ongoing incremental penalties if a deduction notice was in force. However, this section has been removed from the law. It no longer applies as of 1 April 2021. The government made this change as part of updating the Child Support Act.
