The Armed Forces (Remission of Fines) Order 2013
Section 16 of the Armed Forces Act 2011 (c. 18) inserts into the Armed Forces Act 2006 (c. 52) a new section 269A, which requires the Court Martial, when imposing a fine on a person aged 18 or over, to fix a term of imprisonment which the person is to undergo if the fine is not paid. This corresponds broadly to a requirement imposed on the Crown Court in England and Wales by section 139(2) of the Powers of Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act 2000 (c.6).
