Regulation 3 amends regulation 7 of the Certification of Enforcement Agents Regulations 2014  (S.I.2014/421) (the “2014 Regulations”) to provide that where, on 26th March 2020, there were  less than three months remaining before the expiry of a certificate granted under the 2014  Regulations, the certificate would remain valid for a period of six months beyond its original  expiry date. Regulation 3 further provides for the validity of certificates to be so extended if this  circumstance arises at a time when restrictions that would prevent a person leaving the place in  which they usually live without a reasonable excuse are in place in any area of England or Wales.  Nothing in these Regulations affects any enforcement action taken prior to these Regulations  coming into force.  © Crown copyright 2020  Printed and published in the UK by The Stationery Office Limited under the authority and superintendence of Jeff James,  Controller of Her Majesty’s Stationery Office and Queen’s Printer of Acts of Parliament.
