Abstract

Deferral of an imprisonment sentence is the institution of Criminal Executive Law, which is an exception to the principle of immediate penalty execution mentioned in Art. 9 of the Executive Penal Code. The institution of deferral allows for aunique withdrawal from the principle, promptly initiating enforcement proceedings. Therefore, the conditions of its use should not be interpreted broadly.
