    Hello krapan.

    Either could be used. Generally when you use would, it's more tentative, and will is more certain.
    So, as it has often been said, it depends on the context.
    Have a good day.
    Sherry

    Hello krapan,

    I don't like to give translations, but in this case you might ask yourself what the difference in French would be between:
    La punition SERA donnée afin de...
    La punition SERAIT donnée afin de...

    Hope this is of some help,
    Happy new year,
    alep
