Etický kódex a správne disciplinárne delikty
Code of ethics and administrative disciplinary offences

Summary/Abstract: Administrative disciplinary offences are a type of administrative offence, main¬ly emphasising compliance with (internal) obligations within an institution. Their spe¬cificity lies in the fact that, from a substantive point of view, they may, by law, leave the definition of the facts of the offence also to an internal regulation. One of these regulati¬ons may be a code of ethics. In this paper I will deal with the definition of administrative disciplinary offences and codes of ethics as a source of the facts of these offences, pointing out whether, from the point of view of European decision-making practice, administra¬tive disciplinary offences can be considered as criminal charges for the purposes of Article 6 of the Convention and, in the event of a positive or negative answer, what principles and procedures will apply to the imposition of liability for a committed administrative disci-plinary offence. I will also compare the above in the light of national case law and analyse whether there are any differences in the European and national approaches available in the decision-making practice.
