ותו ליכא והא איכא (סימן גז"ל משכ"ן ופא"ה) גזל דרחמנא אמר (ויקרא יט, יג) לא תגזול (ויקרא ה, כג) והשיב את הגזלה משכון דרחמנא אמר (דברים כד, י) לא תבא אל ביתו לעבוט עבוטו השב תשיב לו העבוט כבא השמש
And are there no other cases [of a lav sh'nituk l'aseah where it is possible to nullify the asseah]? But there are other cases, (A memonic: Theft, Pledge, Corner) Theft. That the torah says (Leviticus 19,13) "Don't steal" and (Leviticus 5,23) "Return that which you stole". A pledge. That the Torah says (Deuternomy 24, 10) "Do not enter into his house to take his pledge" and (Deuteronomy 24, 13) "You shall surely return him his pledge befor the sun sets". And both of these can be found in Kimu v'lo Kimu and in Bitlo v'lo Bitlo (he can destroy the stolen object/pledge).
Sefer HaChinukh
And this commandment to administer the laws of those that do magic is practiced by males - since it is fitting [for] and it was given to them to administer justice - and not females. And [this is] specifically in the Land of Israel with ordained judges and in a court of twenty three [judges]. And a court that transgresses - it if it has the power to administer justice - has violated this negative commandment, besides that it violated the positive commandment, which is more generally to administer justice against those that are liable. And there are no lashes for this, as there is no act [involved] with it. And we do not give lashes for any negative commandment with which no act is involved - except for one who takes an oath, a rebel, and one who curses his fellow with the name [of God] (Makkot 16a).
