One assumes the rationale is that if they only told you the minimum, and then you got a larger fine, you would not be a happy bunny!

In the Magistrates� Courts in England and Wales, for example, there are five levels of fines which indicate the seriousness of the offences.

Level 1: �200
Level 2: �500
Level 3: �1,000
Level 4: �2,500
Level 5: �5,000
