<h1>Principle against doubtful penalisation requires clear unambiguous laws before imposing penalties on individuals</h1> The principle against doubtful penalisation establishes that individuals should only face penalties under clear and unambiguous law. This fundamental legal policy principle requires that legislation imposing penalties must be sufficiently clear and precise. Courts must consider this principle when interpreting statutory provisions, ensuring that penal consequences are only imposed when the law explicitly and clearly authorizes such penalties. The principle serves as contextual guidance for legislative interpretation, protecting individuals from punishment under vague or ambiguous legal provisions. This doctrine emphasizes the importance of legal certainty in penal matters, requiring lawmakers to draft clear provisions when imposing sanctions or penalties on citizens.
