The Rates (Deferment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010

13.—(1) On termination of the agreement, the amount outstanding under the agreement shall, subject to paragraph (2), become immediately due and payable.

(2) The Department may arrange in exceptional circumstances for the amount outstanding under an agreement (including interest accruing after termination of the agreement) to be paid by instalments over such period as the Department shall determine where the Department is satisfied that, without such an arrangement, a person would suffer undue hardship.

(3) Where an arrangement is made under paragraph (2), the Department shall send the agreement holder a statement in writing specifying—

(a) the period over which the instalments are to be paid;

(b) the respective dates on which those instalments are to become due; and

(c) the respective amounts of those instalments,

together with a statement in writing that interest shall continue to accrue in accordance with condition 5 until the amount outstanding under the agreement has been paid in full.

(4) The Department may by a further statement in writing make such adjustments in the instalment amounts payable under paragraph (2) as may be necessary in consequence of any change in the rate of interest under condition 5.

(5) Where pursuant to an arrangement under paragraph (2), the amount outstanding under the agreement is payable by instalments, the amount outstanding shall, subject to paragraph (6), be recoverable only to the extent of each respectively of those instalments as and when it falls due.

(6) An arrangement under paragraph (2) shall terminate if any instalment is not paid on or before the date on which it becomes due and the Department serves notice in writing on the agreement holder that, by reason of the default, the arrangement is being treated as cancelled, and upon the service of any notice under this paragraph any amount outstanding under the agreement shall become immediately due and payable.

(7) Notwithstanding the termination of the agreement regulations 5 and 6 of the Rates (Deferment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 and conditions 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 11 as well as this condition shall continue to apply until the amount outstanding under the agreement has been paid in full.
