Amount of fixed penalty and form of fixed penalty notice 130 1 Subject to subsection (2), the penalty payable in respect of a fixed penalty offence is such amount as the Scottish Ministers may specify by order. 2 The Scottish Ministers may not specify an amount exceeding level 2 on the standard scale. 3 A fixed penalty notice shall— a state the alleged offence; b give such particulars of the circumstances alleged to constitute the offence as are necessary to provide reasonable information about it; c state the amount of the fixed penalty; d state the clerk of the district court to whom, and the address at which, the fixed penalty may be paid; e inform the person to whom it is given of the right to ask to be tried for the alleged offence and explain how that right may be exercised; and f include such other information as the Scottish Ministers may by order prescribe. Effect of fixed penalty notice 131 1 This section applies if a fixed penalty notice is given to a person (“A”) under section 129. 2 Subject to subsection (3), proceedings may not be brought against A. 3 If A asks to be tried for the alleged offence, proceedings may be brought against A. 4 Such a request shall be made by a notice given by A— a in the manner specified in the fixed penalty notice; and b before the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which the notice is given. 5 If, by the end of the period mentioned in paragraph (b) of subsection (4)— a the fixed penalty has not been paid in accordance with this Part; and b A has not made a request in accordance with that subsection, then A is liable to pay to the clerk of the district court specified in the fixed penalty notice a sum equal to one and a half times the amount of the fixed penalty. 6 A sum for which A is liable by virtue of subsection (5) shall be treated as if it were a fine imposed by the district court specified in the fixed penalty notice. Payment of fixed penalty 132 1 The fixed penalty stated in a fixed penalty notice is payable to the clerk of the district court specified in the notice. 2 Payment of the penalty may be made by properly addressing, pre-paying and posting a letter containing the amount of the penalty (in cash or otherwise). 3 Subsection (4) applies if a person— a claims to have made payment in accordance with subsection (2); and b shows that a letter was posted. 4 Unless the contrary is proved, payment is to be regarded as being made at the time at which the letter would be delivered in the ordinary course of post. 5 Subsection (2) is not to be read as preventing the payment of a penalty by other means. 6 Any sum received by the clerk of a district court by virtue of subsection (1) or section 131(5) shall be treated as if it were a fine imposed by that court. 7 A letter is properly addressed for the purposes of subsection (2) if it is addressed in accordance with the requirements specified in the fixed penalty notice.
