Help understanding this letter

Santa:
If convicted, you are, according to legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1968/73/section/97A a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale.

That is: £2,500.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/198 … e-of-fines

Bear in mind that magistrates very rarely give fines anywhere near the maximum.

Thanks , I’d been trying too read up and had it at £5000 max and 2 years imprisonment , so £2500 although not a insignificant amount of money is none the less a improvement ( not sure that’s the right word )
