The Armed Forces (Financial Penalty Enforcement Orders) Regulations 2009 permit the making of an order for the registration by a civilian court (“the relevant court”) of a financial penalty imposed under the Armed Forces Act 2006 (c. 52). Regulation 3(5) of the 2009 Regulations provides that the sum certified in the order as being outstanding is to be treated for all purposes as if it had been a fine imposed upon conviction by the relevant court.
