The procedural rights of a municipal consumer spokesman in the misdemeanour procedure – selected practical issues based on the Art. 114 paragraph. 1 the Competition and Consumer Protection Act, 16th of February 2007

Summary/Abstract: A municipal consumer spokesman can be a public prosecutor in the misdemeanour procedure. He can submit a lawsuit for the consumer, but he can also support the consumer’s lawsuit. In most of the proceedings, his status and permissions are not treated equally. It happens in the misdemeanour procedure based on Art. 114 paragraph. 1 u.o.k.k. which treats about the fees, related to not taking into consideration the spokesman’s opinion. The purpose of this article was to show the discrepancies and their impact on the statutory tasks performed by the consumer spokesman. The authors postulate that the consumer spokesman should be empowered as a public prosecutor in lawsuits where the Art. 114 paragraph. 1 u.o.k.k. is taken into consideration. The authors claim also that the misdemeanour is based on Art. 114 paragraph. 1 u.o.k.k. can be replaced with an administrative penalty for the entrepreneur who fails to fulfil his obligation.
