Are you referring to an actual "fine" or are you referring to restitution? If the payment of restitution was in lieu of serving the sentence you were given, yes, you must pay it to satisfy the sentence. If you failed to pay restitution it is possible that you COULD also be charged with Contempt of Court for violating the court's order.
When you issued a suspended sentance, that means they are holding it over you head, for instance, if you were issued a 30 day suspended sentence, and you get in trouble, you will have to go to jail for 30 days.
You can get a prison sentence or have to pay a fine.
yes a fine of $1000000,780
Example: If you were found guilty and sentenced to either a fine or time in jail BUT the judge suspended the sentence.... it usually is suspended based on something that the judge wants from you in return (e.g: drive with no tickets for the nest 3 years - or - live your life with no police involvement for the next 2 years - or - something similar to that). If you fail to do these things the judge is requesting of you (in return for the suspended sentence), he could re-impose the previously suspended sentence and have you serve it as punishment.
A suspended sentence is a sentence that is held in abeyance and is not activated. When a suspended sentence is revoked that sentence is then activate. Example: Sentence is 10 years with 7 years suspended. A person would only do 3 years. There is usually conditions set by the court to keep this sentence suspended. If those conditions are not met, the judge can then revoke the suspended sentence and the defendant would have to complete the full 10 years.
Atone Sentence
yes it can be... my brother had to pay a fee until he got it backLet's expand a bit on the above answer. Not having car insurance is not an offence. Driving a vehicle on public roadways without insurance is an offence. If you are convicted of this offense and issued a fine, and if you do not pay this fine in a manner prescribed by the court, your drivers licence can be suspended until you pay the fine, at which time you will be required to pay an additional $150.00 for reinstatement. This is for the province of Ontario, Canada. Many other jurisdictions have similar laws.
A suspended sentence
Not enough info to answer the question. If the sentence was suspended why is there a warrant issued for you? Suspended sentence for what offense? Was there some kind of probation/community service attached to the sentence that you failed to complete?
Normally the term of the suspension of a licence is a part of the punishment on top of the fine. so paying the fine will not effect the length of the suspension.
