(a) on payment of the whole sum to any person authorised to receive it, the order shall cease to have effect;

(4) [F35 Section 32(1) of the M17 Powers of Criminal Courts Act 1973] (under which a fine imposed by the Crown Court is treated for the purpose of enforcement as having been imposed on conviction by a magistrates’ court) shall not apply for the purposes of this section.
