Peeter cannot pay back a loan to the bank. May he be deprived of his liberty (put in prison) for this reason alone?
In the exam (Estonian)
Peeter ei suuda pangale laenu tagasi maksta. Kas talt võib ainult selle pärast vabaduse võtta (ta vangi panna)?
- aYes, if the bank makes a report about it to the police.Jah, kui pank esitab selle kohta politseile avalduse.
- bNo, liberty may not be taken away for failing to fulfil a contract.Ei, lepingu täitmata jätmise pärast ei tohi vabadust võtta.Correct answer
- cYes, if the loan amount is larger than his annual salary.Jah, kui laenu summa on suurem kui tema aastapalk.
Why?
Under § 20, no one may be deprived of liberty solely because they are unable to fulfil a contractual obligation. Paying back a loan is such an obligation. (PS § 20)
