Dopuszczalność kumulacji sankcji lub postępowań o charakterze karnym w świetle zasady ne bis in idem. Analiza najnowszego orzecznictwa Trybunału Sprawiedliwości Unii Europejskiej
Admissibility of cumulation of sanctions or proceedings of criminal nature in the light of the ne bis in idem principle. Analysis of recent case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union

Summary/Abstract: The purpose eof this article is to analyse Article 52 of the Charterof Fundamental Rights (CFR) and the case law of the Court of Justice of theEuropean Union concerning the conditions under which a cumulation ofcriminal proceedings or sanctions is admissible. They determine in whichcases the principle of ne bis in idem laid down in Article 50 CFR applies. It isparticularly important that the requirements of proportionality be met for thecumulation, i.e. it is necessary, the burden resulting from it is not excessive andthe concurrent proceedings are sufficiently foreseeable and coordinated. Com-pliance with these criteria determines whether the duplication of proceedingsand penalties, and thus the restriction of the fundamental right under Article50 of the CFR, is justified. The importance of these criteria for protectingagainst the disproportionality of cumulative sanctions justifies a cross-cutting clarification of them for their concrete application by the authorities decidingon the imposition of sanctions of a criminal nature.
