1. If the convicted person fails to pay the imposed fine, either voluntarily or through enforcement proceedings, they shall be subject to subsidiary personal liability of one day of imprisonment for every two unpaid daily installments. In the case of minor offenses, this liability may be served by house arrest. In this instance, the time limit established in paragraph 1 of Article 37 shall not apply.
The judge or court may also, with the convicted person's consent, order that the subsidiary liability be served through community service. In this case, each day of imprisonment shall be equivalent to one day of work.
2. In cases of proportional fines, the judges and courts shall, at their discretion, determine the appropriate subsidiary personal liability, which may not exceed one year in any case. The judge or court may also, with the convicted person's consent, order that this liability be served through community service.
3. This subsidiary liability shall not be imposed on those sentenced to a term of imprisonment exceeding five years.
4. Fulfillment of the subsidiary liability extinguishes the obligation to pay the fine, even if the convicted person's financial situation improves.
5. Payment of a fine imposed on a legal entity may be made in installments over a period of up to five years when its amount demonstrably jeopardizes the entity's survival or the maintenance of existing jobs, or when the public interest so advises. If the convicted legal entity fails to pay the imposed fine, either voluntarily or through enforcement proceedings, within the specified period, the Court may order its intervention until full payment is received.
