An attempt has been made to distinguish the circumstances excluding the punishability of the act and those exempting the perpetrator from responsibility. Because it matters whether the perpetrator is not punished since the act itself is not punishable, or whether he/she is not punished because of a circumstance that appeared later, and that exempts him/her from responsibility. In the first case, it is an unpunishable act that is not capable of giving rise to criminal liability. Only a punishable act may be a ground for seeking criminal liability from the perpetrator.","PeriodicalId":41915,"journal":{"name":"De Jure","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80403753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This decision of the Criminal College raises complex theoretical and practical questions related to the rules for hearing the civil claim, considering the criminal nature of the proceedings, the functions of the parties, the participation of the perpetrator’s inheritors (where the perpetrator has died), how their rights and legitimate interests will be guaranteed, and other questions that the Interpretative Decision failed to answer. Following an analysis of the established problems, a proposal for their solution is made through official referral of the civil claim to the civil court as to continue the court proceedings after the criminal case has been discontinued.","PeriodicalId":41915,"journal":{"name":"De Jure","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87803195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The inspiration to give impetus to the judicial practice in the direction of the fastest possible implementation of this instrument for resolving a legal criminal case in the judicial system is a strong reason to study this topic, specific to the circumstances of Kosovo justice. From this review, it can be affirmed that, during the initial review of the indictment, the public prosecutor, the defendant or defendants and their defence must be present.
