It will address the question of the necessity for this separation between penalties in the Administrative Penalties and Offences and in the Criminal Procedure Rules. And whether there was really a need for the creation of "specialised courts' to resolve issues related to administrative offences, or should they have been left to the jurisdiction of the District Courts and the special part of the Criminal Procedure Rules.otherpenaltiescomparisonCriminal Procedure RulesLaw on administrative offences and punishmentsArticle
