Adjudication of the punitive damages in the law on petty offenses

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the issues related to the institution of punitive damages operating under the Polish Code of Petty Offenses. Measures provided by the law on petty offenses, as a part of the broadly understood criminal law, should be interpreted in an analogous way in both of these codifications. However, as a result of changes to the Polish Penal Code introduced in 2015, there are clear differences between the punitive damages provided for in the Polish Code of Petty Offenses and the punitive damages adjudicated under the Polish Penal Code. In this respect, it is necessary to postulate that appropriate changes should be made by the legislator.
