Imagine a situation where a crime has been committed, the perpetrator is known and there is no doubt that he committed the crime. The only question at stake is what punishment will be meted out. Here, a good defence and a focus on the mitigating circumstances of the crime can play a big role. What are they and how can they affect the sentence?

We’ll review your case and suggest how to resolve it for CZK 690.

Criminal law

Do you suspect that a company is trying to influence the awarding of public contracts in your town hall? Is a factory dumping substances into the river near your home that are causing fish kills? And do you wonder whether it is worth dealing with this if those responsible will just shift their share of the blame and in the end the court will acquit them all? It's worth it. In addition to the personal liability of individuals, our laws know about the criminal liability of legal persons, and many have already been convicted.

Criminal law

If we had to say what punishment would come to mind first, for the vast majority of us it would probably be imprisonment. Some of us may not have even heard of a fine until recently. Also, until a few years ago, it accounted for only four per cent of the sentences imposed. However, this is now slowly changing and fines are becoming more important.

The aim of criminal proceedings is to decide on guilt and, if the defendant is found guilty, to determine his or her punishment. Imprisonment is one of the most feared punishments. For what offences can it be imposed, what exactly influences its level and how is it carried out?

Criminal law

One of the principles of criminal law states that without culpability there is no crime and no punishment. But there are different forms of culpability. For some crimes, intent is presumed, for others, negligence. How do they differ in practice and what are examples of intent and negligence?

Criminal law

The notion of a criminal offender seems to us to be a fairly obvious thing - after all, it is a person who has done something illegal and should be punished. But what about when such a person is unattributable, or when a child is involved? And how does Czech law treat the commission of a crime by a legal person?

Criminal law

Having probation from the court is probably not something we want...unless we just committed a crime. In which case, it's not a bad outcome of the court's decision at all. When is a suspended sentence given, what does it consist of, and what is the risk of violating it?
