26 Fines Recovery Unit may allow further time
(1) If an application is made under section 25, the Fines Recovery Unit
may by order allow further time to pay the fine if it appears
expedient to do so.
(2) For subsection (1), the Fines Recovery Unit may enter into
arrangements with the person for:
(a) extending the time for payment of the whole fine; or
(b) paying the fine by instalments in the amounts, and at the
times, as the Unit specifies.
(3) If an instalment of a fine is not paid by the specified date, the
remaining instalments then become due and payable unless the
Fines Recovery Unit orders otherwise.
(4) An order allowing further time to pay a fine or allowing the fine to be
paid by instalments may be amended or revoked by a further order
made on the application of the person liable to pay the fine or on
the initiative of the Fines Recovery Unit.
(5) An order under this section allowing further time to pay a fine or
allowing the fine to be paid by instalments is cancelled on the
making of a fine enforcement order against the person liable to pay
the fine.
