Definition

An administrative penalty is a measure applied by competent institutions or officials in response to an administrative offense. The Law on Administrative Liability outlines various types of administrative penalties, including warnings, fines, and the prohibition to exercise certain rights. The specific type and amount of penalty are determined based on the nature of the offense, the personality or reputation of the liable person, their financial situation, and any mitigating or aggravating circumstances. These penalties are designed to protect the legal system and ensure compliance with regulatory enactments.
