Reconsideration

Small amount outstanding: discharge of order

1
This section applies if—
a
a court has made a confiscation order,
b
a chief clerk applies to the Crown Court for the discharge of the order, and
c
the amount remaining to be paid under the order is £50 or less.
2
In such a case the court may discharge the order.
3
The Department of Justice in Northern Ireland may by order vary the amount for the time being specified in subsection (1)(c).
4
The discharge of a confiscation order under this section does not prevent the making of an application in respect of the order under section 171(1)(d) or 172(1)(c).
5
Where on such an application the court determines that the order should be varied under section 171(7) or (as the case may be) 172(4), the court may provide that its discharge under this section is revoked.
