Statute overview

About this statute

This chapter concerns how punishment is determined. Section 2 sets the sentencing scale and allows deviations only as provided elsewhere. It also lets a court, in some cases, replace a fixed-term prison sentence with a fine, and requires the judgment to state the sentence that would have been imposed without the defendant’s cooperation. A decision to waive or withdraw a criminal charge against a legal person is served by post or under Chapter 11 procedure rules. For damage offences, remission may be granted for reporting, prosecution, or punishment if the suspect or offender has repaired the damage and compensation is considered a sufficient sanction. Prosecution or punishment for narcotics use offences may be waived if the offence is minor overall or if the suspect/offender has sought care approved by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health.
