200 Transitional provision for pre‑commencement court fines (1) Despite section 14 of the **Interpretation of Legislation Act 1984**, a court fine imposed by the Magistrates' Court or the County Court but not defaulted on before the commencement of section 13 is taken, on and from that commencement and to the extent that it has not been paid, to be referred to the Director for collection and management in accordance with Part 3, unless it is a court fine— (a) of a prescribed type or class; or (b) imposed in respect of a prescribed offence or class of offences. (2) If a court fine is imposed on a person before the commencement of section 15 and the person defaults on that court fine before that commencement, on and from that commencement, that court fine is taken to be registered with the Director for enforcement under section 15 despite the original order imposing the court fine being made before that commencement unless— (a) a court otherwise orders; or (b) before that commencement, action has been taken in relation to that default; or (c) it is a court fine— (i) of a prescribed type or class; or (ii) imposed in respect of a prescribed offence or class of offences. (3) This section is in addition to, and does not derogate from, any powers of a court under the **Sentencing Act 1991**. (4) This section does not limit or otherwise affect any jurisdiction or power that a court has in relation to contempt of court.
