Object Aspects of Civil and Criminal Responsibility in the Matter of Throwing Away Objects

Abstract

The legal responsibility for throwing away objects from premises was regulated in two legal acts: the Civil Code and the Misdemeanor Code. The types of responsibility of a person have been determined differently in two cases. In case of the civil law it is based on the principle of risk, while in the other one it depends on indicating the guilt of a perpetrator. The aim of this article is to present the demands which must be fulfilled so that the same person could bear both civil and criminal responsibility, caused by the occurrence of real incident, as well as listing the situations in which such a scenario is excluded. It is worth mentioning that these problems are on the margin of civil and criminal lawyers’ interest.
