Hello - my OH have recently been charged with a community order and the judge also order a payment of around £314 (which actually represent two payments: one of £200 for the court case and another of £114 of victim charge although it was a police decoy)
To be paid within 2 weeks from day of sentencing.

Thank you for the reply. If it gets referred to crown court do you still have a magistrates fine to pay. Or do you get fined later

I have no idea as to why the court applies a fine, my son was given a custodial and then about 6 weeks later he got a fine through the post, it wasnt a high cost (under £300) x

T2021 - in my OH case and for what I understood the £200 pounds covered the magistrate and crown court fine. The judged imposed it at Crown Court as part of his sentencing and I think they will also take into account his financial situation because he did mention and also confirm with his barrister that he was able to pay this amount within the 2 weeks.
My husband received the fine of £300 by list within 2 days pist sentencing. He paid it immediately. We were told it was a standard charge.

My son received a fine of just under £600. The judge said he had a year to pay it but when it came through the post it had to be paid for in a month.
Thank you all for the help.
magistrates coming up but it will go to crown so wondered if the fine will be at magistrates or crown or both

The fine is given as part of the sentencing so will be a crown court if that is where sentencing will take place.
Wishing you all the best.
