Description
This monograph, whose contents are in Czech, presents the first comprehensive treatment of the only ordinary remedy against a first-instance court judgment: an appeal. It analyzes appeals and appellate proceedings from doctrinal, normative, judicial, historical and comparative perspectives. It also addresses the constitutional framework of the right to appeal in criminal matters under Article 2 of Protocol No. 7 to the European Convention on Human Rights. The legal regulation of appellate proceedings is shaped particularly by the tension between two legitimate interests: bringing the case to a swift conclusion and thoroughly reviewing the first-instance judgment. The monograph also examines the most pressing issue, namely direct appellate review allowing the appellate court to reassess the factual findings of the first-instance court. It is intended not only for legal practitioners but also for the wider professional public interested in criminal proceedings and the concept of appeals.
