Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on some examples of appeal and cassation instance courts’ judicial practice (2008-2013) in criminal proceedings in respect of offences committed by legal persons.

Further, the accents on defining the legal person‘s foul (mea culpa) are described. In the end of the article, there are some problematic issues in the criminal proceedings in respect of offences committed by legal persons discussed, i.e. representation of a legal person who is prosecuted and application of temporary procedural coercive measures.
