About penallaw as understood in the English law system a more general article criminal law Refimprove date July 2010 In the most general sense, penal is the body of laws that are enforced by the State in its own name and impose penalties for their violation, as opposed to Civil law common law civil law that seeks to redress private wrongs.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Contract lawPenal damages are best seen as quantitatively excessive liquidated damages and are invalid under the common law . While liquidated damages are a priori calculations of expectation loss under the contract, penal damages go further and seek to penalise a party in some way for Breach of contract breach of a clause above and beyond the loss suffered by the innocent party as a result of this breach. Many clauses which are found to be penal are expressed as liquidated damages clauses but are seen by courts as excessive and thus invalid. The judicial approach to penal damages is conceptually important as it is one of the few examples of judicial paternalism in contract law. Even if two parties genuinely and without coercion wish to consent to a contract which includes a penal clause, they are unable to. So, for example, a person wishing to give up smoking cannot contract with a third party to be fined 100 each time they smoke as this figure does not represent the expectation loss of the contract. As distinguished from other types of damages Penal damages are to be distinguished from punitive damages , which are awarded in certain types of tort actions for actions which caused harm to the plaintiff. Penal damages are also different from treble damages , which are generally set by statute for certain violations of competition law and related laws.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Penal harm , an intentionally harsher form of the deprivation of liberty , is the belief that during custodial sentence s mainly in prison or reformatory , inmates should endure additional pain and suffering, not just having their basic rights taken away, to make the punishment deliberately harder. While this improves the desirable deterrent effect of detention, and fits the idea of retribution, its perception as cruelty rather than justice may endanger both internal security and prospects for Rehabilitation penology rehabilitation and goes against the humane ideal of most human rights advocates, possibly qualifying legally as inhumane punishment, an infringement on human rights under the United Nations UN rules. Although internal punishments , imposed by prison authorities, are not strictly penal harm as such, since they are not independent from the convict s behavior, arbitrary application and choice of cruel modes, including corporal punishment in South East Asia n countries this can include the dreaded Rotan caning , perfectly fit the rationale. Traditional forms include hard labor rationed, unappetizing or even unhealthy food various discomforts such as poor hygiene, small and overcrowded cells, hard bunks, insufficient protection against cold long isolation, even in a dark hole sleep deprivation humiliating procedures such as strip search es denial of visits, correspondence and recreation.

The Pakistan Penal Code usually called PPC is a penal code for all offences charged in Pakistan . It was originally prepared by Lord Macaulay with a great consultation in 1860 on the behalf of the Government of British India as the Indian Penal Code . After the partition of India in 1947, Pakistan inherited the same code and subsequently after several amendments in different governments,it is now mixture of Islamic and English Law. History The draft of the British Indian Penal Code was prepared by the First Law Commission and it was chaired by Lord Macaulay . Its basis is the law of England freed from superfluities, technicalities and local peculiarities. Suggestions were also derived from the French Penal Code and from Livingstone s Code of Louisiana. The draft underwent a very careful revision at the hands of Sir Barnes Peacock , Chief Justice, and puisne Judges of the Calcutta Supreme Court who were members of the Legislative Council , and was passed into law in 1860, unfortunately Macaulay did not survive to see his masterpiece enacted into a law. Though it is principally the work of a man who had hardly held a brief, and whose time was devoted to politics and literature , it was universally acknowledged to be a monument of codification and an everlasting memorial to the high juristic attainments of its distinguished author. For example even cyber crimes can be punished under the code. Important Features of PPC Jurisdiction Section 1. Title and extent of operation of the Code.
