1220.   Return of costs from Treasury in certain cases

Where a defendant is convicted and ordered to be imprisoned, or to repay any fees and costs to the complainant as part of the costs and is imprisoned in default of payment thereof, or where the magistrate otherwise considers it proper so to do, the magistrate may, in his or her discretion, direct that the Treasury refund to the complainant, the whole or part of the fees and costs paid by the complainant, if in his or her opinion the complainant's pecuniary position or lack of means renders such refund just and necessary in the circumstances.
