Litter Offence (Fixed Penalty Notice) and ILR Application

[Dmaswtart]

Hi,

I have a question which I'd be grateful if someone can help with please..

I am due to apply for ILR in circa 3 months time. Unfortunately, I received 2 Litter Fines (in 2 months) . These were issued as 'Fixed Penalty' tickets and are now paid up. There were no involvement of Police or Court etc. and as far as the council people informed me, these were not classed as convictions as long as they were paid.

On this basis, I have 3 questions:

1. Do I need to disclose this in my ILR application. If yes, under which section?
2. Does this constitute to being a Civil Judgement or Civil Penalty?
3. (The most obvious question) - What impact would this have on the success of my application.

P.S. Apart from these 2 fines for Litter, I have not have any other convictions, fines or penalties of any sort.


Thanks in advance for your advice.

Though they are not convictions and assuming we can safely ignore that, I am not sure whether they are classed as 'Civil Penalties' and need to be included as a part of the questions which states:

7.3 Do you or any dependants who are applying with you have any civil judgments against you
or any civil penalty under the UK immigration acts?

and question which states:

7.10. Have you or any dependants who are applying with you ever engaged in any other
activities which might indicate that you may not be considered to be persons of good character?
