How can I pay my portion of a joint fine when I can’t reach the other parties?
Dear Lawyers,
In a case where multiple people are involved and a fine is issued jointly, but there is no way to contact the other parties to resolve it, how can I pay the fine for only myself?
Dear Questioner,
While paying a joint fine individually can be challenging due to shared liability principles, it is possible by following these steps: reviewing the documentation, contacting the authorities for clarification and options, seeking legal advice if necessary, and maintaining thorough records of your efforts.
Dear Questioner,
Thanks for your inquiry!
If a fine is issued jointly but you only want to pay your share:
- Contact the Relevant Authority: Reach out to the issuing authority (e.g., police, municipality) and explain your situation.
- Request a Breakdown: Ask if the fine can be split among the parties, or if they can confirm your share.
- Provide Evidence: Offer any documentation that supports your portion of the fine.
- Obtain Clearance: After paying your share, request a receipt or clearance letter.
- Legal Advice: If the authority refuses to split the fine, consult with us as a lawyer via phone or email for further action.
A joint fine implies shared responsibility, and the entire amount is due. If you cannot reach the other parties involved, you may need to explore other options.
You can contact the authority and explain the situation to them. There might be a way to request a reduction in the total liability and pay your share. We will check the possibilities in detail.
Kindly share your WhatsApp number to discuss this further.
