Section 6(3) was amended by virtue of sections 37, 38 and 46 of the Criminal Justice Act 1982 (c. 48) which replaced references to monetary amounts in previous enactments with references to the standard scale. These sections of the 1982 Act were applied to the Isle of Man by the Criminal Justice Act 1982 (Isle of Man) Order 1983 (S.I. 1983/1898). Section 6(3) was then further amended by the Geneva Conventions (Amendment) Act 1995.
