This paper describes the origin, function, and scope of Money Payment Supervision Orders (MPSO's) and their place in the fine enforcement procedure in England.
Abstract
It looks at the potential for this type of order, as well as pointing out the limitations, using three case histories to illustrate the variety of use. It concludes that, with a clarification of the legal definition concerning the order, more positive use could be made of it as a means of avoiding imprisonment for default. A total of 13 reference notes are provided. (Author summary modified)
