Summary/Abstract: In the Polish petty offences law penal measures constitute, in addition to the penalties, a main form of penal response to the perpetrator's committing a prohibited act. The role of penal measures in the petty offences law depends on the correct formulation of their catalogue, as well as on the correct determination of the principles concerning their adjudication. The purpose of this article is to assess whether de lege lata shaping of the catalogue of penal measures and the rules concerning their adjudication is optimal, or whether it requires de lege ferenda certain changes.
