The person paid the fine, but made a mistake in the number of data. The fine did not reach the Treasury and a case was filed against the motorist for non-payment.
The Magistrate’s Court has imposed a sentence under Part 1 of Art. 20.25 of the Code of Administrative Violations in the form of a double fine.
After much trial, the case reached the Supreme Court, which agreed that the fine had not been paid within the legal time limits. But he noted that in this case there are reasons to cancel the decisions previously made regarding the offender.
In accordance with Article 2.9 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, if the administrative offense committed is insignificant, the authorities competent to settle the case may exonerate the citizen from liability and limit themselves to oral remarks.
In this case, the offender paid the fine and submitted a receipt stating the purpose of the payment, the order number and the payer’s passport details. But due to an error, the money went to the wrong recipient. All this allows us to conclude that while his actions contain signs of an offense, they are insignificant.
On this basis, the Supreme Court overturned all decisions of the lower courts and dismissed the case for insignificance.
