170 Convictions for offences relating to levy

(1)  If a policyholder, licensed insurer or self-insurer is convicted of an offence under this Part by a court, the court, in addition to imposing a penalty for the offence, is to order the person to pay to the Commissioner –

(a) the sum in respect of the non-payment of which the offence was committed; or

(b) the portion of that sum that remains unpaid at the date of the conviction.

(2)  An order under subsection (1) for the payment of a sum to the Commissioner may be enforced in the same manner as a summary conviction or order under the Justices Act 1959 for the payment of a sum of money may be enforced, and the provisions of that Act, with the necessary adaptations, apply to such an order accordingly.
