Summary/Abstract: The material aspect of disciplinary responsibility regulated in the new act that came into force on 4th March 2016 is described in this short essay. The most interesting thing to deliberate on is the article 137 § 2 which says that the prosecutor is not disciplinary liable if they acted only in general interest. This clause is really controversial not only becauseof its wide content but also ambiguous character (analysed from the perspecitve of the five – element structure of a delict). It is not an easy task to prejudge if the prosecutor does not commit the delict or is not subjected to the penalty if acting in the general interest. More arguments against the first statement are found. The terminologial disorder included in the Penal Code and the consequences for an individual (eg. the possibility to self – defence, civil responsibility of the state) lead to propose this thesis.
