§ 6.—(1) Regulations under this Schedule may provide that where a magistrates' court has made a liability order against a person (the debtor) the authority concerned may levy the appropriate amount by distress and sale of the debtor's goods.
§ (2) The appropriate amount is the aggregate of—
- (a) an amount equal to any outstanding sum which is or forms part of the amount in respect of which the liability order was made, and
- (b) a sum (of an amount determined in accordance with prescribed rules) in respect of the charges connected with the distress.
§ (3) The regulations may include provision that—
- (a) a distress may be made anywhere in England and Wales;
- (b) a distress shall not be deemed unlawful on account of any defect or want of form in the liability order and no person making a distress shall be deemed a trespasser on that account;
- (c) no person making a distress shall be deemed a trespasser from the beginning on account of any subsequent irregularity in making the distress, but a person sustaining special damage by reason of the irregularity may recover full satisfaction for the special damage (and no more) by proceedings in trespass or otherwise.
