<p>The standard scale of fines set down in the Criminal Justice Act 1982 for criminal
offences in England and Wales was increased by primary legislation in the Criminal
Justice Act 1991, and the Level 5 maximum was increased to an unlimited fine in the
Legal Aid Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012. The standard scale has
not been amended by Order in the period specified. Regulations may be made under the
Legal Aid Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 provide alternative maximum
penalties for some offences.</p>
