Chapter 7 - Joint punishment

Section 5 - Sentencing to a joint punishment

(1) When sentencing to a joint punishment of imprisonment or a joint fine the provisions in chapter 6 shall be followed, where applicable.

(2) When sentencing to a joint punishment the basis is the penalty for the offence which in the consideration of the court carries the most severe penalty, and the joint punishment for the offences shall be set in just proportion also to the number of offences, their seriousness and their connection with each other. If one of the grounds for increasing or decreasing a punishment referred to in chapter 6 or some other circumstance listed in said chapter only applies to one or some of the offences for which a sentence is being passed, it shall be taken into account to a reasonable degree in setting the joint punishment.
