Statute overview

About this statute

This preamble introduces a law about increasing the level of fines imposed by criminal courts. The ordinary criminal courts must apply fines at ten times the usual rate, subject to stated minimums, maximums, and special-fine exceptions. This provision replaces specified criminal-code articles and sets minimum and maximum fine levels, with some reductions or substitutions allowed by judges in cases with mitigating circumstances. Contraventions to regulations and ordinances made by communal councils, mayors and aldermen, or district commissioners are punishable by 1 to 7 days’ imprisonment and a fine of 50 to 500 francs, or by only one of those penalties. Certain infractions are punishable by the courts with a fine, imprisonment, or both.
