92Imposition of fine

92 Imposition of fine (1) This section applies if the Court imposes a fine under section 83(1)(g). (2) The fine may be enforced under the Fines and Penalties (Recovery) Act 2001 unless the Court orders detention or imprisonment in default in accordance with subsection (3). (3) The Court may order that if the fine is not paid within 28 days the youth must be detained at a detention centre or imprisoned until his or her liability to pay the fine is discharged. (4) If the Court makes an order under subsection (3) and the youth does not pay the fine within 28 days, the Court may issue a warrant of commitment in respect of the youth specifying the period of detention or imprisonment to be one day for each amount (or part of that amount) prescribed for the purposes of section 88 of the Fines and Penalties (Recovery) Act 2001 that comprises the fine. (5) If the youth serves the total period of detention or imprisonment under a warrant under subsection (4), the fine is taken to be satisfied. (6) If the youth serves part of the period of detention or imprisonment under a warrant under subsection (4), the fine is taken to be partially satisfied by the amount calculated at the rate prescribed for the purposes of section 88 of the Fines and Penalties (Recovery) Act 2001 for each day actually served. (7) Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, any period of detention or imprisonment that the youth has to serve as a result of an order under subsection (3) must be served: (a) cumulatively on any incomplete sentence or sentences of detention or imprisonment imposed on the youth for the default of a payment of a fine or sum of money; and (b) concurrently with any incomplete sentence or sentences of detention or imprisonment imposed on the youth other than for the default of a payment of a fine or sum of money, whether the other sentence was or the other sentences were imposed before or at the same time as that term.
