Latia Sententia

All crimes committed are considered by Chezian legal theory to be latia sententia (Latin, laid down sentence), which means that penalties apply automatically. In practice, this means penalties and sentencing are treated as having taken effect at the time of the crime and not at the time of the judicial verdict. This is primarily important in banking, as felons are prohibited from accruing interest.
