A Bill to give effect to Schedule 6 to the Courts Act 2003; to provide thereby for the imposition of unpaid work orders to pay financial penalties; and for connected purposes
The Unpaid Work Orders (Pilot Scheme) Bill would put in place a test where, in certain cases, financial penalties can be paid by offenders doing unpaid work. It gives effect to Schedule 6 of the Courts Act 2003 to support these unpaid work orders, aiming to assess how well this approach works before any wider use.
The bill is currently at the 2nd reading in the House of Commons. If it advances, it will proceed to the committee stage for detailed examination and then subsequent readings before moving to the Lords.
