Kernrechtsfrage
Whether annulling a final fine instead of simply refraining from collection constitutes benefitting under Art. 305(1) SCC.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. Cancelling the final fine amounted in substance to preventing execution of a lawful sanction and thus shielding the person from criminal enforcement.
Extrahierte Begründung
Benefitting also covers execution-related conduct by authorities responsible for enforcement. The council’s wording did not matter; it withdrew the enforcement of a valid, final sanction.
