What is a Judicial Fine?
A judicial fine is a sanction in which you have to pay an amount of money determined by a court decision within a certain period of time. It is usually given for traffic fines, administrative fines or various crimes.
Judicial Fine Payment Periods
The period for paying the judicial fine is specified in the penalty decision. This period usually varies between 15 days and 3 months. If you do not pay your fine within the specified period, you may face delay interest and pursuit costs.
Ways to Pay Judicial Fines
You can generally pay judicial fines in the following ways:
Banks: You can make a payment by going to the bank branch specified in the fine decision.
PTT branches: You can also make your fine payment transaction from PTT branches.
Internet banking: You can pay your fine via your bank’s internet branch.
Mobile banking: You can also make fine payments via mobile banking applications.
What Happens If a Judicial Fine Is Not Paid?
If you do not pay a judicial fine, you may encounter the following legal consequences:
Delay interest: If you are late in paying, delay interest is added to the fine amount.
Follow-up procedures: If your fine is not paid, enforcement proceedings may be initiated. Your assets may be seized and deductions may be made from your salary in the enforcement proceedings.
Imprisonment: In some cases, people who do not pay a judicial fine may be given a prison sentence. However, the decision to convert it to a prison sentence is made by the judge depending on the nature of the penalty and the person’s financial situation.
Objection to Judicial Fine
You have the right to object to a judicial fine. You must submit your objection to the relevant court within a certain period of time from the date of notification of the penalty decision. In your objection petition, you must state in detail the reasons why you think the penalty is unfair.
