The fine is issued by the court after CAA prosecution; the court decides the appropriate punishment. However, the courts do not have the remit to take any licensing action, that's up to the CAA. Now he's pleaded guilty and the court have ruled, the CAA can now do what they think is necessary - including license suspension. The public won't hear about that unless he decided to appeal under Reg 6 when the outcome of the appeal would be published in ORS 4. Indeed, he may well already have been provisionally suspended pending the outcome of the CAA investigation and prosecution.
