determination of penalty on request/demand (of the parties)
Explanation:
This is a special procedure used in Italy to speed up the court decision process whereby the accused gives up his right to defence in exchange for a reduction of whatever sentence the judge determines by one third. These sentences are laid down in the Criminal procedure code and the penalties are fixed. I have a lot more information available on this subject so if you need it, don't hesitate to e-mail me. Please note that the term "plea bargaining" is not incorrect but is an Americanism; the other problem with using it is that a plea bargain is a specific American procedure and this could lead to confusion as the two procedures are different. See Eurodicautom and also there is a research paper on the net under the other link (which does refer to it as plea bargaining;-). Best of luck!
