Criminal Procedure (Consequential Provisions) (Scotland) Act 1995

Fines on summary conviction for offences under subordinate instruments: conversion to references to levels on scale

9 (1) Where an instrument which was made under an enactment on or after 11th April 1983 but before 12th October 1988 (the date of commencement of section 54 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988) confers on any authority other than a harbour authority a power by subordinate instrument to make a person liable on summary conviction to a fine of an amount shown in the second column of the standard scale, as that scale had effect when the instrument was made, a reference to the level in the first column of the standard scale which then corresponded to that amount shall be substituted for the reference in the instrument conferring the power to the amount of the fine.

(2) This paragraph shall not affect so much of any instrument as (in whatever words) makes a person liable on summary conviction to a maximum fine not exceeding a specified amount for each period of a specified length during which a continuing offence is continued.
