Answer:

The drawbacks would be that many would be excused from harsh punishment as they will be fined in proportion to their case; and by Earls and Barons being fined only by their class, it allows those classes to get away with their actions whenever they do something to a lower class. The benefits would be the same as the drawbacks, less punishment and the ability to get away with crimes.
