Summary/Abstract: Penal order proceedings are but one type of special procedure. They are characterised by a far-reaching reduction in formalism. The article discusses institutions which are characteristic for this type of proceedings, noting the admissibility of such solutions but also the dangers inherent in adjudication only on the basis of evidence collected by the public prosecutor. In addition, a detailed analysis of the positive and negative criteria for the use of penal order proceedings was presented.
