TIME LIMITS IN CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS
TIME LIMITS IN CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS

Summary/Abstract: This issue is dedicated to a theme which focuses specifically on the activities of the criminal procedure law of judicial bodies involved in a certain way, but also interested in a certain period of time. In the specialized literature, the time limits have been defined in a similar manner by most scholars, these representing the amount of time inside which or after depletion, there can be accomplished the criminal procedural activities. It is important to underline that the time limit can be considered, either a time limit or a time trial, but this appreciation is done independently of it speremptory or dilatory nature. The problem arises, indeed, when we are choosing between defining the time limit as time interval or time of the proceeding, but this option is made in consideration of the need to completely cover the notion of the time limit, and depending on the nature of the time limit. For a correct and complete definition of the notion of “time limit in the criminal process”, we must have in mind both the proximate and gender difference.
