Criminal Conviction
Although a binding over order is not a conviction, such order may be imposed following conviction and sentence for a criminal offence, in addition to any penalty applied. A refusal to accept the terms of the binding over order may be treated as a contempt of court.

Famous quotes containing the words criminal and/or conviction:
“It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“The author’s conviction on this day of New Year is that music begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance; that poetry begins to atrophy when it gets too far from music; but this must not be taken as implying that all good music is dance music or all poetry lyric. Bach and Mozart are never too far from physical movement.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
