I shall add this provision in the next edit.
On a related note, who determines the sentence?
I have updated it accordingly. It now includes a new section (Section 12) which states:
[table][cell]
Section 12. Guilt and Sentencing
(1) No person may be found guilty of a crime not listed in this act.
(2) If found guilty of a crime, the Delegate shall impose upon the person a punishment proportionate to the offence.
[/cell][/table](1) No person may be found guilty of a crime not listed in this act.
(2) If found guilty of a crime, the Delegate shall impose upon the person a punishment proportionate to the offence.

I hate to be difficult, but I don't suppose it could be changed to:
"the Delegate may impose upon the person any punishment proportionate to the offence."
which better reflects the requirement in my proposal for a punishment "permitted by law" and maintains the Delegate's common-sense veto?
