That's rarely the case in the EU, though.
- WastingMyTime89 5y agoI think you can swap rarely for never now that's the UK is gone. Fines are never directly going back to the prosecuting body in the EU and damages are strictly limited to compensatory. Fines just go back to the general budget. I think that's why the EU is generally a lot less litigious than the USA.
- mrmanner 5y agoI also thought never, but since IANAL I had to google before I commented and found something about some specific kinds of fines in Spain :D
