On Some Issues Related to the Continuation of the Offence, on Going, and Cumulative Offences

Summary/Abstract: The journal article discusses the problems associated with crimes committed over a longer period of time, in particular in the context of the Supreme Court’s decision of 23 September 2020, file number 8 Tdo 866/2020, which dealt with whether the offence of stalking under section 354 of the Criminal Code was a continuation of an offence or an ongoing one. When discussing this decision in the Criminal Division of the Supreme Court, a debate was held as to whether it was correctly an ongoing or cumulative offence. The article deals with the arguments that have been made in this regard and concludes that it is an ongoing offence. In that context, it also addresses the issue of the so-called coherent actions, and on the basis of analysis of Supreme Court jurisprudence, that these are not another category of crimes characterised by a longer period of committing, but are merely an adjunct in theory and practice of differentiated categories continuation of offence, ongoing offence, and cumulative offence which serves only to refine and distinguish them correctly in specific cases under assessment.
