(4) The sheriff in considering whether the sheriff is satisfied under subsection (3)(b) may take into consideration any contravention by the infringement offender of— (a) a community work permit issued to the infringement offender; or (b) any order imposed on the infringement offender under the **Sentencing Act 1991**.
