Article 43 of Municipality Law

An application for settlement from the violator may be accepted in respect of acts violating municipal regulations for which the prescribed fine is less than five hundred Kuwaiti dinars. After confronting the violator with the violation, the person drawing up the report shall offer him settlement thereof and record that in his report. A violator who wishes to settle shall, within thirty days from the date settlement is offered to him, pay the minimum fine prescribed for the violation attributed to him, together with the fees and expenses due to the Municipality. Settlement shall result in the shelving of the violation report or the termination of the criminal proceedings by settlement and the resolution of all their effects, as the case may be. As for building violations, settlement thereof is permissible within thirty days from the date settlement is offered to the violator, provided that the violator is required to remove the violation within the period specified by the Municipality, which shall not exceed six months.
