Addresses deficiencies in NI domestic legislation arising from EU exit and amends minor error in International Road Transport Permits (EU Exit) Regulations 2018

This instrument remedies deficiencies in Northern Ireland domestic law in the field of drivers’ hours and tachographs for the carriage of goods and passengers by road, arising from the withdrawal of the UK from the EU. These amendments are made under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (“the EU Withdrawal Act”).

This instrument makes separate amendments to the International Road Transport Permits (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 (“the Permits Regulations”) to correct an error in regulation 28(2) of those Regulations to provide that the 20 working day time - limit for making an appeal applies to appeals to a traffic commissioner in Great Britain. A new sub - paragraph (3A) is also inserted to allow for the period of time in which an appellant must be informed of the outcome of an appeal to be extended.
