PUNISHMENT FOR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH A COURT DECISION UNDER THE LAWS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
Journal Title: Юридичний науковий електронний журнал - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue
Abstract
It is possible to divide the criminal law of the states of the European Union as follows: the EU states which, for non-enforcement of the court decision, provide for punishment only the restriction of freedom, imprisonment, imprisonment (Poland, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Belgium, Hungary, Sweden) and the EU states, who for failure to comply with a court decision provide for punishment of restraint of liberty, imprisonment, imprisonment, as well as additional punishment, impose a fine (Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Romania, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Spain, Finland, France, Austria, Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany). It is also worth noting that only the Spanish legislator provided for deprivation of the right to hold an official position or a state post (which is a similar type of punishment under Article 382 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). We consider it worthwhile to borrow as a positive experience such penalties for failure to comply with a court decision as punitive and public works provided for in the criminal law of Latvia, Lithuania and Bulgaria. It is difficult for us, in our opinion, that the majority of the criminal codes of the states of the European Union do not indicate the lower limit of the punishment imposed for non-enforcement of a court decision, whether it is imprisonment or a fine (Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Finland, Austria, Denmark, Netherlands, Germany, Hungary, Sweden). In general, it should be noted that sanctions for failure to comply with a court decision under the Criminal Code of Ukraine are more severe than sanctions for a similar norm under the criminal law of a number of European Union states.
