a) As of 21 October 2015 there are 19,111 people living in the South West who have outstanding fines (5,331) and infringements (13,780); and
b) (i) - (iv)  See Tabled Paper No.
As of 25 November 2013, all court ordered fines are referred directly to the Fines Enforcement Registry (FER) for administration. This allows an individual to have all their fines and unpaid infringements managed by one entity allowing them to enter into a payment arrangement immediately for the total amount they have outstanding. These court fines are referred to as 'Managed Fines' or 'Managed Debt'. After 28 days, if the court fine is not paid in full or a payment arrangement entered into, then the fine becomes eligible for enforcement and subject to FER enforcement measures and fees. These fines are referred to as 'Enforced Court Fines'.
