Nadzwyczajne złagodzenie kary sprawcy przestępstwa zagrożonego sankcją kumulatywną

The paper refers to the position expressed in the resolution of the Supreme Court of 20 March 2019. The resolution resolves one of the most difficult issues in the field of extraordinary mitigation of the punishment. It is a problem of applying this institution to perpetrators of crimes when a statutory threat includes cumulative imprisonment and a fine. The main reason for the interpretative controversies is the lack of explicit regulation of this issue in the provisions of the current Penal Code. The authors critically evaluate the legal view expressed by the Supreme Court.
