Effect of payments on term of imprisonment
92(1)Where a warrant of committal is issued as a result of default of payment of a fine, the term of imprisonment calculated under subsection 91(3) shall, upon any payment being made in respect of the fine to the person who has lawful custody of the defendant, be reduced by a number of days bearing as nearly as possible the same proportion to the number of days in the term as the payment made bears to the total fine.
92(2)No amount offered in part payment of a fine shall be accepted unless it is sufficient to secure reduction of the term of imprisonment by one day, or some multiple thereof.
92(3)The person who has lawful custody of the defendant shall, when the fine is discharged, either by payment of the fine or by serving the term of imprisonment or partly in the one way and partly in the other, forward to the office of the court a notice in prescribed form of discharge of fine, accompanied by any payment received in respect of the fine.
