About this statute

This text is the preamble to Law 1153 of 2007, which states that it was issued to establish treatment for small causes in criminal matters and notes a vigency remark that it is inexequible. In proceedings for the contraventions covered by this law, the Constitution, constitutional block, guiding principles, the Penal Code, and Law 906 of 2004 must be applied together in a consistent way. A contravention is punishable only if it is typical, unlawful, and culpable. This article says punishable conduct may be done by action or by omission, and a person with a legal duty to prevent a contraventional result who can do so but does not may be subject to the penalty in the relevant criminal rule. If one act or omission, or several, violates multiple provisions or the same provision several times, the most serious penalty applies, increased by up to another amount, with limits. If a contravention is connected to a crime, the criminal authority takes over the contravention.
