KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Mulct
Mulct is an old legal term meaning to impose a fine, penalty, or financial punishment.
The term was historically used in legal and judicial contexts where a court or authority ordered payment as punishment for wrongdoing.
Although largely obsolete in modern legal language, the word occasionally appears in historical legal materials and older judgments.
Mulct may refer either to the act of imposing the penalty or to the penalty itself.
Modern law usually uses clearer terms such as “fine,” “penalty,” or “financial sanction” instead.
