140: Payment of infringement fees

You could also call this:

“Infringement fees for health and safety violations go to the government”

When someone pays an infringement fee for breaking a health and safety rule, the money doesn’t stay with the person who issued the fine. Instead, all the money from these fees goes into a special bank account owned by the government. This account is called a Crown Bank Account. It’s where the government keeps money it receives.
