112 Fines Recovery Unit to deal with surplus money
(a) money has been paid to the Fines Recovery Unit:
(i) by a person in full or partial satisfaction of an
enforcement order, and the relevant order is withdrawn
or, if the order is a penalty enforcement order, annulled);
or
(ii) in accordance with section 111 by an enforcement
agency that held surplus money in relation to a person;
or
Fines and Penalties (Recovery) Act 2001 67
(b) the Unit otherwise comes to hold surplus money in relation to
a person;
the money is to be dealt with as follows:
(c) if the person is the subject of an enforcement order that has
not been fully satisfied – the money may be credited against
the amount remaining to be paid under the order;
(d) if there is more than one enforcement order in relation to the
same person – the money may be credited against the oldest
order (if any) that can be fully satisfied by the money available,
then the next such order, and so on, with the residue (if any)
credited against the oldest remaining order;
(e) if there are no enforcement orders or, after allocation of the
money under this section, no remaining orders in relation to
the person – the money is to be repaid to the person.
(2) This section applies to an order that is not fully satisfied despite that
the Fines Recovery Unit may have granted the person additional
time to pay or made arrangements for payment by instalments.
