213 Remission of fines.(1)

A fine may at any time be remitted in whole or in part by—

(a)

in a case where a transfer of fine order under section 222 of this Act is effective and the court by which payment is enforceable is, in terms of the order, a court of summary jurisdiction in Scotland, that court; or

(b)

in any other case, the court which imposed the fine or, where that court was the High Court, by which payment was first enforceable.

(2)

Where the court remits the whole or part of a fine after imprisonment has been imposed under section 214(2) or (4) of this Act, it shall also remit the whole period of imprisonment or, as the case may be, reduce the period by an amount which bears the same proportion to the whole period as the amount remitted bears to the whole fine.

(3)

The power conferred by subsection (1) above shall be exercisable without requiring the attendance of the accused.
