MAGISTRATES' COURTS ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1964 - SECT 110A

1950 c.37

110A.(1) Where a court of summary jurisdiction in proceedings upon complaint
otherwise than on conviction has ordered the payment of a sum of money (not
being a sum to which section 110 applies) and a person defaults in paying that
sum within the time specified in the order or (if no time is so specified)
forthwith, subsections (1) to (5C) of section 110 shall apply as if in
subsection (1) the word "periodical" were omitted and in paragraph (a) of that
subsection for the words "payments are" there were substituted the words
"payment is".

(2) The commitment to prison of a person under section 110(5), or under
section 102(2) as applied by section 110(5A), for the purposes of this section
shall not operate to discharge him from liability to pay the sum in respect of
which the order of commitment was made or the warrant of commitment was
issued; but where a person has been imprisoned under an order of commitment
made for the purposes of this section in respect of his failure to pay any
sum, then, notwithstanding anything in this Act, no such order shall
thereafter be made in respect of that sum or any part of it.

(3) Where a sum such as is mentioned in subsection (1) has been ordered by the
court to be paid by instalments and default is made in the payment of any one
instalment, this section shall apply as if the default had been made in the
payment of all the instalments then unpaid.

(4) Where proceedings have been taken in the Enforcement of Judgments Office
for the payment of a lump sum ordered to be paid under Article 4(1)(b) or (d),
8(5), 13(2)(b) or (3)(b) or 22(2) or (8) of the Domestic Proceedings (Northern
Ireland) Order 1980, no order shall be made under this section to enforce such
payment.]
