What is a Judicial Fine?
A judicial fine is a type of punishment that is usually applied in the form of a prison sentence being fulfilled in exchange for money. The judge determines this punishment by considering various factors such as the severity of the crime, the personal situation of the perpetrator and his/her economic conditions.
Why is it Necessary to Cancel a Judicial Fine?
A judicial fine may have been imposed unfairly or its amount may have been found excessive. In such cases, legal action can be taken to cancel the punishment.
What Can Be Done to Cancel a Judicial Fine?
The following methods are generally used to cancel a judicial fine:
Objection: An objection can be made within a certain period of time from the notification of the penalty decision. Evidence that the penalty is unfair is presented in the objection petition.
Filing a Lawsuit: If the objection is rejected or the objection period has expired, a lawsuit can be filed in the administrative court. In the lawsuit, a reasoned request is made for the cancellation of the penalty.
Valid Reasons for Cancellation of Judicial Fines
Various reasons can be put forward for the cancellation of a judicial fine. Some of these are:
Contravention of the Penal Code: The type, amount or method of application of the penalty may be contrary to the penal code.
Error or Mistake: If there is an error or mistake in the penalty decision, a request for cancellation can be made.
Insufficiency of Evidence: If there is not enough evidence that the crime was committed, the penalty can be canceled.
Excessive and Legal Abuse: If the amount of the penalty is found to be excessive in terms of the economic situation of the perpetrator or if the penalty was imposed for the purpose of legal abuse, a request for cancellation can be made.
