Where provided for by law, public proceedings are extinguished by payment of a fixed fine set by law, which may not exceed the amount provided for in the first paragraph of Article 131-13 of the Penal Code, under the conditions set out in this section.
However, the fixed fine procedure is not applicable if the offence has been committed by a minor or if several offences, at least one of which cannot give rise to a fixed fine, have been recorded simultaneously. Nor does it apply if the offence is a repeat offence, except where the law provides otherwise.
