Summary/Abstract: For public administration, under the terms of the rule of law, there is necessary to provide a relatively freely determined content for flexibly exercise of executive power. Public administration has power to punish (to decide on guilt and punishment for administrative offenses) to provide regular functioning. This power is related to the discretion of the administrative authority about a fair and proportionate administrative sanction, ie the choice of its type and limit. In addition to the principle of legality, the principle of proportionality is one of the key principles in administrative discretion, which provides a framework for administrative authorities. Among the basic criteria which help to impose a proportionate administrative sanction, there are inevitably mitigating and aggravating circumstances that serve as a guideline for the correct and equitable determination of administrative sanction. The author will first focus on the current position of administrative punishment in the Czech Republic and in this context will focus on the issue of administrative sanction and the role of aggravating and attenuating circumstances according to the Act No. 250/2016 Coll., On the liability for offenses and the proceedings about them, case law of the administrative courts. This post does not aim to supplement the role of commentaries on minor crimes. In particular, it does not deal with each individual circumstance separately, but focus on some other conclusions resulting from literature or case law.
