PENALTIES AND SENTENCES ACT 1992 - SECT 73
Payments and application of payments
73 Payments and application of payments
(1) Subject to subsection (3) and despite a suspension of an original order so
far as it requires the payment of a fine, the fine or a part of the fine may
be paid.
(2) A fine or part of a fine must be paid, directly or indirectly,
to the proper officer of the court in which the original order was made.
(3)
If, after a fine option order is made— (a) payment of part of the amount
originally required to be paid by the original order is made—the payment
must be applied— (i) firstly, to the amount of a penalty (other than the
fine) required to be paid by the original order; and
(ii) then, to the amount
of the fine; or
(b) a payment is applied to the amount of the fine to which
the fine option order relates—the number of hours of community service
required to be performed by an offender under a requirement of the order must
be reduced by a number that bears to the number of hours, as nearly as
possible, the same proportion that the amount of the payment bears to the
amount of the fine.
