No punishment in lieu can be imposed as an alternative to a fine
Explanation:
forvandlingsstraf: jur. alternative sentence > Bailey's Dansk-Engelsk Handels Fagordbog, as opposed to Bailey's Irish Cream liqueur.

Fine tends to be criminal and penalty contractual, though the lines get blurred, e.g. a penalty fare payable on public transport or penalty points entered on a UK driving licence.

Better steer clear of a 'custodial sentence' for forvandlingsstraf as there may well be other alternatives to imprisonment, such as a community service-type order e.g. of doing unpaid work, rather than 'judicial corporal punishment' like a caning or birching that has been outlawed in most civilised countries: on the Isle of Man in relatively recent times.

Det medfører bødeansvaret : it is punishable by a fine, Vinterberg + Bodelsen.

Asker: yes. Certainly, turn my wording round, My original idea had in fact been closer to that phraseology: 'There shall be no alternative sentence imposable in lieu of a fine.'

Explanation:
forvandlingsstraf: jur. alternative sentence > Bailey's Dansk-Engelsk Handels Fagordbog, as opposed to Bailey's Irish Cream liqueur.

Fine tends to be criminal and penalty contractual, though the lines get blurred, e.g. a penalty fare payable on public transport or penalty points entered on a UK driving licence.

Better steer clear of a 'custodial sentence' for forvandlingsstraf as there may well be other alternatives to imprisonment, such as a community service-type order e.g. of doing unpaid work, rather than 'judicial corporal punishment' like a caning or birching that has been outlawed in most civilised countries: on the Isle of Man in relatively recent times.

Example sentence(s):
  • IATE: penalty [LAW > criminal law] COM en community service COM community sentence COM da samfundstjeneste
  • Stk. 7. Der fastsættes ingen forvandlingsstraf for bødeansvaret efter stk. 1.

Asker: Hmm - perhaps 'No alternative punishment may be imposed in lieu of a fine'?
