The Criminal Justice Act 2003 (Surcharge) (Amendment) Order 2016

Section 161A(1) of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (c. 44) (“the 2003 Act”) requires a court, when dealing with a person for one or more offences, to order the person to pay a surcharge. The amount of surcharge that is payable in particular circumstances is set out in the Schedule to the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (Surcharge) Order 2012 (S.I. 2012/1696) (“the 2012 Order”). This Order amends that Schedule to increase those amounts.
