Magister Legum - LLM / A person should at all times try to avoid the blemish of a previous conviction and a criminal
record entered against his name. A criminal record entered against his name could have
detrimental consequences for an individual. An accused is usually aware of this if he is
involved in a trial and is thereafter convicted and sentenced. However, the same result could
occur where a person paid an admission of guilt fine. Such a person could be aware that he
has attained a record, but it could also be that a payee1 of a fine is very unaware that he has
attained a criminal record that is entered against his name. This study focusses on the legal
consequences of the payment of such an admission of guilt fine and will endeavour to
investigate the remedies available to an uninformed payee of such fines.
