(1)Where the Crown Court orders the defendant to pay any amount under section 2 of this Act, [F1sections 139(1) to (4) and 140(1) to (3) of the Powers of Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act 2000] (powers of Crown Court in relation to fines and enforcement of Crown Court fines) shall have effect as if that amount were a fine imposed on him by the Crown Court.
(2)Where—
(a)a warrant of commitment is issued for a default in payment of an amount ordered to be paid under section 2 of this Act in respect of an offence or offences, and
(b)at the time the warrant is issued, the defendant is liable to serve a term of custody in respect of the offence or offences,
the term of imprisonment or of detention under [F2section 108 of the 2000 Act] (detention of persons aged 18 to 20 for default) to be served in default of payment of the amount shall not begin to run until after the term mentioned in paragraph (b) above.
(3)The reference in subsection (2) above to the term of custody which the defendant is liable to serve in respect of the offence or offences is a reference to the term of imprisonment [F3or detention in a young offender institution] which he is liable to serve in respect of the offence or offences; and for the purposes of this subsection—
(a)consecutive terms and terms which are wholly or partly concurrent shall be treated as a single term; and
(b)there shall be disregarded—
(i)any sentence suspended under [F4section 118(1) of the 2000 Act] (power to suspend sentence of imprisonment) which has not taken effect at the time the warrant is issued;
(ii)in the case of a sentence of imprisonment passed with an order under section 47(1) of the Criminal M1 Law Act 1977 (sentences of imprisonment partly served and partly suspended) any part of the sentence which the defendant has not at that time been required to serve in prison; and
(iii)any term of imprisonment or detention fixed under [F5section 139(2) of the 2000 Act] (term to be served in default of payment of fine etc) for which a warrant of commitment has not been issued at that time.

(b)in section 87 of that Act (enforcement by High Court or county court), subsection (3) shall be omitted.
