Cumulative periods of work under community work permits and orders under the Sentencing Act 1991
155 Cumulative periods of work under community work permits and orders under the Sentencing Act 1991
If the sheriff issues an infringement offender with 2 or more community work permits in respect of 2 or more enforcement warrants, the periods of unpaid community work to be performed under those permits are cumulative.
If a fine conversion order or fine default unpaid community work order is in force in respect of an infringement offender, the hours of unpaid community work that the infringement offender is required to perform under a community work permit in force at the same time as the fine conversion order or fine default unpaid community work order must be performed cumulatively with the hours performed under the fine conversion order or fine default unpaid community work order.
Note
Work under a fine conversion order or a fine default unpaid community work order is to be performed cumulatively with work under other fine conversion orders or other fine default unpaid community work orders, but concurrently with work performed under any community correction order under the Sentencing Act 1991. See section 42 of the Sentencing Act 1991.
In this section—
fine conversion order has the same meaning as it has in the Sentencing Act 1991;
fine default unpaid community work order has the same meaning as it has in the Sentencing Act 1991.
