A warning can be a warning or a penalty.
Apercibimiento is the act and consequence of apercibir , a verb that refers to reprimand, sanction or warn . The concept is usually used in the field of law regarding a punishment that is applied for a disciplinary infraction and that involves recording the offense so that, if it is repeated, a more severe penalty is applied.
These warnings may arise within the framework of a judicial process . The court or judge can draw attention and warn one of the parties through communication to take a certain action . If you do not comply with what is required in the communication, a sanction will follow. A judge can order, through a warning, that one of the parties to a trial go to court to give a statement: otherwise, they will be punished.
The warning can also warn one of the parties that, if they perform a certain action, they will be punished. For example : “The accused was prohibited from leaving the country under warning.”
Various uses of the term warning in the legal field
Within the legal field, we also have to highlight the existence of what is called the enforcement warning procedure . This indicates, for example, that if one party to a judicial process does not comply with what is ordered to make a payment to the other affected party within a specific period, it may incur a serious problem that will be associated with a specific sanction.
In the same way, in this area, the word warning is also used to refer to the sanctions and disciplinary actions that are imposed on employees who do not comply with what is due. That is, they do not carry out their functions as they should.
The concept of warning is used in the judicial field.
The concept in education and sports
In an educational establishment, on the other hand, the warning can serve as a warning to a student to modify his behavior if he does not wish to be punished with reprimands or other punishment mechanisms. The regulations of a secondary school, to cite one case, could establish that, when a student accumulates three warnings, he receives a reprimand . After ten warnings, you are automatically expelled from school. The warnings, in this framework, are recorded in a disciplinary book.
Within the field of education, the most common warnings are established for unjustified absences from class by students. In this way, they are understood as a tool to, among other things, reduce or end the so-called phenomenon of school absenteeism .
Thus, depending on the hours that have been missed from class and the number of hours that the subject in question has, minor, serious or very serious warnings may be established.
Within the sporting field we can highlight the existence, for example, of warnings to clubs and teams for situations that occurred on their fields during a competition. We are referring, for example, to a decision to close the stadium because a bottle has been thrown at the referee.
