The social harm of an unauthorized construction act and how to prove it

Summary/Abstract: Background and research purpose: The issues of this paper is to answer the question whether, de lege lata, a compliance of unauthorized construction with the technical and construction regulations, spatial development plans, and the lack of danger to life and health are legally significant evaluators of the social harm done by unauthorized construction Methods: This paper uses both a dogmatic method and a theoretical analysis, which allow analysing legal norms’ functional foundation of in penal law and their the constitutional conditions. Conclusions: As a result of the analysis, it is asserted that the compliance of unauthorized construction with the technical and construction regulations, spatial development plans, and the lack of danger for life and health are important for assessing social harm. However, the evaluation of whether the conduct is or is not a misdemeanour, or whether it ought to be only sanctioned by admonishment, is dependent on the theoretical assumptions about the meaning and role of social harmfulness underlying the sanctioning norm and its relation to the sanctioned (regulatory) norm.
