INTRODUCTION

Ever since the introduction of the new Haurul Caezk, there have been provisions against imposing punishment upon those under the age of sixteen (as of recently), and those of unsound or simple mind. However, the Haurul Caezk offered no definition of what is a punishment and what isn’t, and this law simplifies so by introducing the four standard punishments to the Haurul Caezk.

 

Chapter I, Section XIV shall read:*

 

XIV

Punishments are defined to be fines, banishment, imprisonment, and execution.

 

Chapter I, Section XIV-XXVII shall be shifted in numer in accordance with the above addition.

*While other consequences of crimes, such as branding, are commonplace in the Kingdom, these shall not be defined as punishments. It is additionally noted that the Aulic Court may issue any consequence outside of these listed punishments after a trial, and that they are not restricted purely to the aforementioned.

 

Written by,

Lord Palatine, Eirik Baruch, Duke of Valwyck.
