Section 293 CPC permits substitution only for a term of imprisonment or imprisonment in default of payment of a fine; it does not permit substituting mandatory fines or other statutory ancillary punishments. Applied to s42 RTA, a CSO may replace the imprisonment element but the mandatory fine, endorsement on driving licence and statutory disqualification must still be imposed; however the court can structure the order so that in default of fine the accused performs CSO instead of being committed to prison to preserve the s293 CPC objective of keeping youthful offenders out of custody.
