- Gwreiddiol (Fel y'i Deddfwyd)
Dyma’r fersiwn wreiddiol (fel y’i gwnaed yn wreiddiol).
(1)In Chapter 1 of Part 12 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (c. 44) (general provisions about sentencing), after section 161 insert—
(1)A court when dealing with a person for one or more offences must also (subject to subsections (2) and (3)) order him to pay a surcharge.
(2)Subsection (1) does not apply in such cases as may be prescribed by an order made by the Secretary of State.
(3)Where a court dealing with an offender considers—
(a)that it would be appropriate to make a compensation order, but
(b)that he has insufficient means to pay both the surcharge and appropriate compensation,
the court must reduce the surcharge accordingly (if necessary to nil).
(4)For the purposes of this section a court does not “deal with” a person if it—
(a)discharges him absolutely, or
(b)makes an order under the Mental Health Act 1983 in respect of him.
(1)The surcharge payable under section 161A is such amount as the Secretary of State may specify by order.
(2)An order under this section may provide for the amount to depend on—
(a)the offence or offences committed,
(b)how the offender is otherwise dealt with (including, where the offender is fined, the amount of the fine),
(c)the age of the offender.
This is not to be read as limiting section 330(3) (power to make different provision for different purposes etc).”
(2)In section 164 of that Act (fixing of fines), after subsection (4) insert—
“(4A)In applying subsection (3), a court must not reduce the amount of a fine on account of any surcharge it orders the offender to pay under section 161A, except to the extent that he has insufficient means to pay both.”
(3)In Part 1 of Schedule 9 to the Administration of Justice Act 1970 (c. 31) (cases where payment enforceable as on summary conviction), after paragraph 12 insert—
“13Where under section 161A of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 a court orders the payment of a surcharge.”
(4)In Schedule 5 to the Courts Act 2003 (c. 39) (collection of fines), in paragraph 1(1) (application of Schedule), after “a fine” insert “or a surcharge imposed under section 161A of the Criminal Justice Act 2003”.
(5)The Secretary of State may by order—
(a)make provision amending Schedule 5 (collection of fines) or Schedule 6 (discharge of fines by unpaid work) to the Courts Act 2003 in its application by virtue of subsection (3) or (4) to surcharges;
(b)make provision for any part of Schedule 5, or the whole or any part of Schedule 6, not to apply to surcharges;
(c)make amendments to any enactment that are consequential on provision made under paragraph (a) or (b).
(1)In Chapter 1 of Part 1 of the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001 (c. 16) (on-the-spot penalties for disorderly behaviour), section 3 is amended as follows.
(2)In subsection (2) (maximum penalty that may be prescribed), at the end insert “plus a half of the relevant surcharge”.
(3)After that subsection insert—
“(2A)The “relevant surcharge”, in relation to a person of a given age, is the amount payable by way of surcharge under section 161A of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 by a person of that age who is fined the maximum amount for the offence.”
(1)The Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 (c. 53) is amended as follows.
(2)In section 53 (amount of fixed penalty), after subsection (2) insert—
“(3)In particular, in relation to England and Wales an order made under subsection (1)(a) may prescribe a higher fixed penalty in a case where, in the period of three years ending with the date of the offence in question, the offender committed an offence for which—
(a)he was disqualified from driving, or
(b)penalty points were endorsed on the counterpart of any licence held by him.”
(3)At the end of section 84 (regulations) (which becomes subsection (1)) insert—
“(2)The Secretary of State may by regulations provide that where—
(a)a conditional offer has been issued under section 75 of this Act,
(b)the amount of the penalty stated in the offer is not the higher amount applicable by virtue of section 53(3) of this Act, and
(c)it subsequently appears that that higher amount is in fact applicable,
the fixed penalty clerk may issue a further notice (a “surcharge notice”) requiring payment of the difference between the two amounts.
(3)Regulations under subsection (2) above may—
(a)provide for this Part of this Act to have effect, in cases to which the regulations apply, with such modifications as may be specified;
(b)make provision for the collection and enforcement of amounts due under surcharge notices.”

Gellir gweld y newidiadau nad ydym wedi eu gweithredu i’r testun eto yn yr ardal ‘Newidiadau i Ddeddfwriaeth’.
Gwreiddiol (Fel y’i Deddfwyd neu y’i Gwnaed): Mae'r wreiddiol fersiwn y ddeddfwriaeth fel ag yr oedd pan gafodd ei deddfu neu eu gwneud. Ni wnaed unrhyw newidiadau i’r testun.
Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol.
