court fines / court-imposed fines
This refers specifically to financial penalties, i.e., fines, imposed by a court or judge. Cámara means cámara del Rey, the Royal Treasury, to which the money is due.
"Court fine" is the translation suggested in this scholarly work, John Tate Lanning, The Royal Protomedicato: The Regulation of the Medical Professions in the Spanish Empire (1985), p. 390.

If you'll pardon an irrelevant scatalogical note, I found the following definition while checking cámara in the Diccionario de autoridades (early eighteenth century):
"CAMARA. Se llama tambien el excremento del hombre, cuyo nombre se le debió de dar por que siempre se exonéra el vientre en lugár retirado, y secréto."

Chamber penalties
The website in the link below uses "chamber penalties", although the page is probably machine translated.
Example sentence:
...for the government, administration and benefit of the effects of chamber penalties...

Spanish term (edited):
pena/s de cámara
(Ancient) Exchequer fine/s
Full answer: ancient Court of Exchequer *and other* fine/s : '...impuestas por los tribunales, juzgados de primera instancia, alcaldes y ayuntamientos.'
> pena pecuniaria : ticket; fine (West).
As Charles D. posits, postulates and propositions, it's a judicial imposition, so methinks on the borderline of a criminal fine and contractual penalty, a 'fixed-notice penalty' for motoring offenc/ses in the UK thus arguably a long-standing and institutionalis/zed misnomer.
Court of Exchequer to capture the true historical flavo(u)r.

Example sentence:
Se entiende por penas de Cámara lo que se recauda por multas y condenaciones pecuniarias impuestas por los tribunales, juzgados de primera instancia, alcaldes y ayuntamientos.
The Court of Exchequer emerged during the medieval period as one of the three main central courts in London. It was originally a common law court but by the mid-16th century it was developing an equity jurisdiction.
