The Statement of Reasons of Non-applying an Extraordinary Mitigation of the Penalty – Doubts About Article 424 § 2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure

Summary/Abstract: The article concerns the problem of the statement of reasons, in case of non-applying an extraordinary mitigation of the penalty. According to Article 424 § 2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the court has to justify applying an extraordinary mitigation of the penalty. The author proves that the court also has to justify non-applying an extraordinary mitigation of the penalty, in case of “situations provided for in a statute” (Article 60 § 1 of the Penal Code) or it is possible that perpetrator fulfilled the conditions of obligatory extraordinary mitigation of the penalty (e.g. Article 60 § 3 of the Penal Code).
