63 Community service instead of fine

(1)  If the Court makes an order under section 60(1)(d) or section 62(4)(b) requiring a youth to perform community service instead of paying the outstanding amount of a fine, the order must require the performance of community service for the longer of the following periods:

(a) one hour for each $20 or part of $20 of the fine outstanding but not exceeding the maximum hours specified in section 72 ;

(b) 3 hours.

(2)  Division 10 of this Part applies, with necessary adaptations, to an order under section 60(1)(d) or section 62(4)(b) requiring the performance of community service instead of paying the outstanding amount of a fine as if the order were a community service order.

(3)  If an order is made under section 60(1)(d) or section 62(4)(b) , the youth may pay the whole or part of the outstanding amount of the fine in respect of which the order was made and the number of hours of community service the youth is required to perform is reduced by the proportion that the amount paid bears to that outstanding amount (ignoring any fraction or part of an hour).
