Part II · Community Based Correction Orders

15. Effect of part payment of fine or completion of programme condition of order

Official English translation. Where it differs from the Sinhala or Tamil text, the Act itself says which text prevails.

(1)

Where an offender in respect of whom a community based correction order has been entered for default of payment of a fine, pays to court, at any time during which the order is in force, a part of that fine the commissioner shall, upon proof of payment, reduce the period specified in such order by such period as is equal to the proportion which the amount paid bears to the amount of the fine:

Provided that the other conditions of the order shall continue to be in force.

(2)

Where the only condition attached to a community based correction order is the performance of unpaid community work by the offender to whom the order relates and the Commissioner issues a certificate to the effect that such offender has satisfactorily performed the community work assigned to him or her during the period specified in the order, the offender shall be deemed to have complied with the conditions of such order.
