Summary/Abstract: The work examines the methodical potential of hermeneutics pragmatism in solving the controversy linked to implementation of the ne bis in idem principle. The key part of the paper is focused at forming adequate criteria for evaluating the similarities of the punishable deed, in situations of application of the principle “evaluating the interests based on evaluating facts”. Thence, a stance based on hermeneutics relativism is to be taken, which has as a consequence a certain relativisation of the principle ne bis in idem with a view of establishing a fitting balance between the principles of legal security and fairness. The work discusses in which way the hermeneutics relativism spills over into hermeneutics pragmatism / sociologism and what are the benefits of that approach for deliberation of the issue of ne bis in idem.
