Local Government (Financial Provisions) Act, 2000

Validation of certain charges made by local authorities.

3.—(1) In this section “relevant charge” means a charge—

(a) purporting to have been made by a local authority, before the passing of this Act, by virtue of section 2 of the Act of 1983, for the provision of a service under an enactment not in force on the commencement of the Act of 1983, and

(b) which would have been valid if the amendment made by section 2 of this Act had been in force at the time of the making of the charge.

(2) A relevant charge shall be deemed to have been validly made and any such charge made before the passing of this Act but not recovered by the local authority concerned may be recovered as validly and effectually as it could have been recovered if this Act had been in force at the time of the making of the charge.
