Sanction

Read a random definition: compel

A quick definition of Sanction:

Sanction: When someone breaks a rule or doesn't follow a court order, they can be punished. This punishment is called a sanction. It's like when a parent takes away a toy from a child who misbehaves. In a court case, a judge might impose a sanction on someone who doesn't follow the rules.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: To punish. A sanction is a penalty or punishment imposed on individuals or entities who violate laws or court orders. For example, in the case of Chambers v. Nasco, Inc. 501 U.S. 32 (1991), the Supreme Court imposed sanctions on Nasco, Inc. for failing to comply with discovery requests.

Example: A student who cheats on an exam may face sanctions such as a failing grade or suspension from school. Similarly, a company that violates environmental regulations may be subject to sanctions such as fines or restrictions on their operations.

The examples illustrate how sanctions are used to punish individuals or entities who break rules or laws. Sanctions serve as a deterrent to discourage future violations and promote compliance with legal and ethical standards.
