FINE
Fine
A fine is money paid as a
financial punishment for the commission of minor
crimes or as the
settlement of a
claim. A synonym, typically used in
civil law actions, is mulct.One common example of a fine is money paid for violations of
traffic laws. Currently in
English Common Law relatively
small fines are used either in place of or alongside
community service orders for low-level criminal offences. Larger fines are also given independently or alongside shorter
prison sentences where the
judge or magistrate considers a considerable amount of retribution is necessary but there is unlikely to be significant danger to the public. For instance,
fraud is often punished by very large fines since fraudsters are typically debarred from the position or profession they abused to commit their crimes.
