About this statute

This chapter concerns fines, conversion penalties, and fixed penalty notices. The court sets the day-fine amount based on the information that applies during the trial; in certain fine-order cases, the prosecutor uses the information from when the order was issued, unless the recipient’s payment ability has changed significantly. Denna paragraf hänvisar till reglerna i 7 kap. 3 a § om höjning av det totala bötesbeloppet vid gemensamt straff för brott som bestraffas med böter och ordningsbot. The part of a fine increased under the cited provisions is not converted into imprisonment. Ordningsbot is a fixed monetary penalty that is lighter than a fine and, for some offences, is the only penalty allowed. Unpaid ordningsbot may not be converted into prison.
