Converting repeated fines into imprisonment

Cancelling the expansion of fine conversion
A previously decided legislative amendment to expand the conversion of unpaid fines into imprisonment is repealed before it enters into force. Cases involving repeat fine recipients will therefore not begin to be processed more extensively in the courts for conversion into imprisonment.
