Summary/Abstract: The subject of the following study is to show the institution of conviction without a trial in time perspective and the impact of the regulations of other countries on the current nature of this institution. Similarity of conviction without a trial to Italian pattegiamento has been presented. The original regulation of Art. 335 of the Code of the Criminal Procedure differs significantly from the current wording and subject scope of conviction without a trial. In view of the adopted and planned changes, the attention has been paid to the protection of aggrieved party’s rights which should also be respected in modified proceedings. Changes introduced by means of the amendment of September 2013 and February 2015 have been evaluated. Changes which are currently the subject of a legislative process have been positively evaluated.
