Hi - Thanks for reply, please could you share a link on that if any?
Also any inputs for question 2?
I just found the below information on home office document "Annex D: the good character requirement" this gives interpretation to me that A Fixed Penalty Notice adhered in time should not make any impact, please share your valuable thoughts!
3.2 Fixed Penalty Notices, Penalty Charge Notices & Penalty Notices for Disorder
Fixed Penalty Notices, Penalty Charge Notices and Penalty Notices for Disorder are
imposed by the Police or other authorised enforcement officers for traffic rule
violations, environmental and civil violations. It is a way of the criminal justice system
disposing of fairly minor offences without the need for a person to attend court.
Receiving one does not form part of a person’s criminal record as there is no
admission of guilt.
The decision maker will not consider these unless the person has:
a. failed to pay and there were criminal proceedings as a result; or
b. received numerous fixed penalty notices which would suggest a pattern of
behaviour that calls into question their character.
Where a fixed penalty notice or fiscal fine has been referred to a court due to non-
payment or the notice has been unsuccessfully challenged by the person in court,
the decision maker will consider this as a conviction and assessed in line with the
new sentence imposed.
Where b. applies, the decision maker will consider the factors listed at section 3.8 –
Considering Cumulative, Non-Custodial Sentences.
Further information on Penalty Notices for Disorder is available on the Ministry of
Justice website:
