AFFEER Meaning and Definition

1. To "affeer" is a verb used to describe the process of fixing or adjusting the amount of a fine or penalty imposed upon a person or entity. It involves the act of determining a more appropriate or reasonable sum of money as punishment for a certain offense or wrongdoing. Affeering is often done by a court or a jury, and it requires assessing the circumstances surrounding the offense and considering any mitigating or aggravating factors.

   In common law, the term "affeer" originates from an old legal practice in medieval England. This process allowed the accused or the defendant to negotiate and agree upon a reduced amount of a fine with the court or the jury, often resulting in a moderate sum as opposed to an excessive or burdensome penalty. Affeering was a mechanism to ensure that punishments remained fair and proportionate to the offense committed.

   Affeering also allowed for consistency and uniformity in imposing fines across different cases. It permitted the consideration of factors such as the defendant's financial means, potential impact on their livelihood, and any extenuating circumstances that might influence the severity of the penalty.

   However, the use of the term "affeer" has become less prevalent in modern legal systems. Instead, the process it describes is now commonly referred to as "fixing" or "assessing" fines or penalties.
