Summary/Abstract: The article explores the issue of unity of a continuous act referred to in Art. 12 para 1 of the Criminal Code. The author considers whether and (if so) to what extent it is permissible for the adjudicating court to transform separate, concurrent offenses (as listed in the indictment) into one – supplemented by an element of continuity – continuous act of Art. 12 para 1 CC. According to the thesis advanced in the article, such a transformation should be considered admissible as long as the attributed offence does not encompass any additional behavior not expressly listed in the indictment, occurring chronologically before the first behavior of the indictment, after the last one, or between them.
