</p><p><strong>Notes: </strong></p><ol><li>This data has been published in the 2018/19
and 2019/20 HMCTS Trust Statements.</li><li>The data excludes fines that are subsequently
written off following a judicial cancellation</li><li>The whole data set has been
included because a fine is only one element of an overall imposition that is made
against a defendant. An imposition will usually consist of a number of elements including
compensation, victim surcharge, costs and a fine. The total imposition is then enforced
as a whole and there is a very strict legal hierarchy that is applied to any receipts
that are received, such that any compensation that is owed by the defendant is paid
first, then victim surcharge, then costs and finally the fine.</li></ol><p>The data
provided is all for the 2019 calendar year.</p>
