Correction Slip
These Rules amend the Magistrates’ Courts (Forfeiture of Political Donations) Rules 2003 (SI 2003/1645) (“the 2003 Rules”), which prescribe the procedure for applications by the Electoral Commission for forfeiture from registered parties, regulated donees, recognised third parties, permitted participants in referendums or candidates or election agents of sums equal to the value of any prohibited donations. These Rules amend the 2003 Rules to include the forfeiture of donations made to an accredited campaigner pursuant to the Recall of MPs Act 2015 (c.25) and prescribe the appropriate form (“Form C”) for such applications. In addition, the opportunity has been taken to address a formatting error in rule 1(2)(d) of the 2003 Rules.
