Description
Summary:At the beginning of the 21st century, criminal procedure legislation in BiH was radically changed. One of the most important novelties is a penalty order proceeding accepted under various foreign influences. Although this is a new special criminal procedure, it has been well accepted and extensively applied. In approximately half of the indictments, the public prosecutor puts forward a motion for a penalty order. However, it has caused many dilemmas, both in theory and in practice. One of them is the possibility of accepting a property claim in a penalty order. The paper analyzes the views of our theory and practice in order to provide an answer to the question of whether they have a basis in the applicable legal provisions. In addition, it also points to the shortcomings in the provisions regulating the procedure for issuing a penalty order that clearly indicate the need for their amendments in order to better standardize a property claim in this proceeding.
