Summary/Abstract: This article presents a part of the larger problem of the discretionary power in general. According to the author discretionary power "est scrire per legem quid sit justum" - is to know what is fair in terms of law. The reader can identify the difference between the discretionary power of a civil judge and the same power of a criminal judge and the difference between the utilitarianism and the retributivism.
