Summary/Abstract: The report analyzes the compensation of damages as one of the materiallegal preconditions for the application of the institute of release from criminal liability and imposing of administrative punishment acc. to art. 78 a, Criminal code. In the author’s opinion the compensation only of damages to property, according to the norm, does not present an adequate protection of the victim’s rights and contradicts not only to the European directives, but also to the contemporary paradigm of compensatory justice.
