Karol Juszka
Jagiellonian University in Kraków , PolandAbstract
The objective of this paper is to present the redress the damage from both the viewpoint of the opinions in legal doctrine, and the correlations between its individual resolutions and their impact on the way of ending the probation period. The analysis of these correlations will be presented by showing factors resulting from the author’s own research of 405 court cases, pertaining to the effectiveness of the conditional discontinuance of criminal proceedings. These were cases individually numbered in the archives of the District Court in Krakow and the regional courts situated within the area of its jurisdiction. The presented analysis also includes a presentation of postulates de lege ferenda concerning both legislative amendments to the statutory construction of the legal institution of conditional discontinuance of criminal proceedings, as well as the action which should be undertaken in the area of its practical application within the framework of binding regulations.
