Summary/Abstract: The motivation for preparing this study was one of the projects of a new act on the responsibility of collective entities for criminal acts punishable by penalties. This act ultimately did not come into force. Such a state of affairs should be evaluated positively, as the project included many bad and harmful solutions. However, the work on the project sparked intensive discussions on how the model of criminal responsibility of a collective entity should look like. The article attempts to formulate the conditions that should decide whether a collective entity can be held liable for criminal acts committed by individuals associated with it. The article uses dogmatic and theoretical methods.
