Dovolání v trestním řízení – Machyánová Kristýna (2024)

The monograph provides a comprehensive analysis of the legal regulation of appeals in criminal proceedings. The introduction discusses the general review of decisions in criminal proceedings, remedies, and specific principles governing the appellate process. It also includes a historical excursion into the development of extraordinary remedies. The core of the book is the definition of decisions that can be challenged through an appeal, and the interpretation of individual grounds for appeal, emphasizing the new ground for appeal under § 265b paragraph 1 letter g) of the Criminal Procedure Code. The author takes into account the rich case law of the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court. The book also focuses on the relationship between appeals, complaints for violation of the law, and constitutional complaints. The sensitive issue of the general binding nature of enforceable decisions of the Constitutional Court is also addressed. Through its critical analysis and practical considerations de lege ferenda, the monograph contributes to contemporary criminal law theory, discussion, and practice, especially in light of the anticipated recodification of procedural criminal law. The book is intended for law students and the broader legal public, including judges, prosecutors, lawyers, and lawmakers.
