Fradømmelser

Fradømmelser refers to the legal act of depriving an individual of a right, privilege, or position. This typically occurs as a consequence of a criminal conviction or a serious violation of rules or regulations. The specific rights or privileges that can be forfeited vary depending on the jurisdiction and the nature of the offense.

Common examples of fradømmelser include the loss of the right to vote, known as fradømmelse av stemmerett, which can be imposed on individuals convicted of certain crimes. Similarly, a person might be fradømt retten til å utøve et yrke, meaning they lose their license or ability to practice a profession. This is often seen in cases of professional misconduct or criminal activity related to that profession.

In some contexts, fradømmelser can also extend to the loss of citizenship or the right to hold public office. The severity and scope of fradømmelser are generally determined by law and are intended to serve as a form of punishment and to protect society. The process usually involves a formal legal proceeding where the individual is found guilty before the deprivation of rights takes effect. Restoration of these rights may be possible under certain circumstances, often after a specified period or upon fulfillment of certain conditions.
