Summary/Abstract: The study covers some issues related to the possibility, provided for in the Criminal Procedure Code, that some of the investigative actions may be carried out in urgent situations, without prior permission of the court. The specifics of the subsequent approval of the protocols of the actions by the court, as a supervising body, are also considered. The case law of the European Court of Human Rights and that of the national courts is analyzed, and the paper proposes general criteria and prerequisites, according to which certain conditions should be defined as urgent.
