Commentary to the verdict of the Supreme Court of 17 may 2017(IV KK 145/17)
Marek Kulik
Uniwersytet Marii Curie-Skłodowskiej w Lublinie , PolandAbstract
The commentary refers to the distinction between destruction and damage of property. The author shares the view of the Supreme Court that this distinction is important for assessing the perpetrator's liability. He believes, however, that the criterion of this distinction accepted by the Supreme Court is not appropriate. The difference between destruction and damage of thing (property) is not whether or not it is possible to use the property, but whether it has been deprived of the qualities of things of the sort or not.
