In criminal or police matters, any convicted person may pay the amount of the fixed procedural fee due pursuant to article 1018 A of the General Tax Code and, where applicable, the amount of the fine to which they have been sentenced, within one month of the date on which the judgment was handed down.
When the convicted person pays the amount of the fixed procedural fee or the amount of the fine under the conditions provided for in the first paragraph, these amounts are reduced by 20% without this reduction exceeding €1,500.
If an appeal is lodged against the penal provisions of the decision, the sums paid shall be refunded at the request of the interested party.
A decree in the Conseil d’Etat shall determine the terms of application of this article.
