Which term refers to money received by the court from fines, fees, bail and lawful sources?

• A. Revenue.
• B. Remittance.
• C. Book balance.
• D. Warrant.

Answer: (A)

Revenue is the money the court collects from its activities—fines, fees, bail, and other lawful receipts. This term captures the overall income the court receives to fund its operations and is reflected in financial records as revenue. It includes fines assessed, service fees charged by the court, bail money, and other legitimate sources of funds the court handles.

Remittance refers to a payment sent from one place to another, not the source of the court’s own income. The book balance is the ledger’s current recorded amount and may differ from actual receipts; it’s an accounting figure, not the income source name. A warrant is a legal document authorizing an action, such as an arrest or a payment, and does not denote revenue.
