CRIMINAL LAW

CRIMINAL LAW

• Criminal law is a system of laws that deals with the punishment of people who commit crimes. Just as people decide what behavior to punish, so people decide what punishment is appropriate. Punishments therefore vary according to the seriousness of the offense – from a simple fine to custodial sentences (imprisonment) and fines. "Crime" means any act or omission that violates a law prohibiting it or is omitted in violation of a law ordering it . Complaint and  Petition notify the Prosecutor or the police authorities of the commission of a crime. If the announcement is made by the victim himself, it is called a summons, if it is made by a third party, it is called a lawsuit. In  Criminal Law  the only person responsible for submitting a case to a judicial review with criminal prosecution is the  Public Prosecutor for felonies or misdemeanors and the  Public Prosecutor for misdemeanors. Competent Courts are the  Criminal Courts ,   while the perpetrators are punished with prison terms, imprisonment, fines and/or fines. The lawsuit is addressed to the competent prosecutor and is filed in order to denounce a criminal act that was committed either against us, for example, threat, bodily harm, etc. or against other people. In some cases, in fact, the lawsuit must be submitted within an exclusive period of 3 months, otherwise if this deadline is not respected, then the right to submit the lawsuit is lost. The prosecutor examines the complaint and can either directly order the defendant to appear at a Trial or order an investigation in order to gather more evidence against him. Of course, if the public prosecutor judges that the lawsuit is unfounded, he will put it on file.

Labor Law

VOID AND ABUSE DISMISSAL

The termination of the employment contract for an indefinite period is a unilateral unjustified legal action and, therefore, its validity does not depend on the existence or defectiveness of the cause, for which it was done, but is a right of the employer and the employee. However, the exercise of this right, like any right, is subject to the limitation of article 281 of the Civil Code, i.e. the non-exceeding of the limits imposed by good faith or morals or the social or economic purpose of the right, exceeding these limits renders the complaint invalid, according to articles 174 and 180 of the Civil Code. Therefore, the termination of an open-ended employment contract by the employer can be challenged by the employee as abusive, if it meets the conditions of the formal legality of the termination, but constitutes exceeding the limits, imposed by good faith or morals or the social or economic purpose of the right. Therefore, it is appropriate to distinguish the denunciation, which does not meet the conditions of the law, from the abusive denunciation, even though the consequence of both of these defects is, in the end, the nullity of the denunciation. Conditions for a valid ordinary termination The conditions for a valid ordinary termination are the following: – Written notification of the termination of the employment contract to the employee. The verbal complaint is void. - Observance of a certain notice period, which is proportional to the length of service at the last employer. – Grant of compensation, which is proportional to the length of service at the last employer. - Notification of the dismissal to the OAED within 8 days from the notification of the complaint document to the employee. The omission of this condition does not invalidate the notice, but has penal consequences for the employer. A disorderly conduct complaint is the only form of complaint for workers and the most common for employees. The conditions for a valid disorderly complaint are the same as for a regular one without the warning condition. Circumstance of abusive termination  Termination of the employment relationship, which meets the conditions of formal legality, as summarized above, may nevertheless be abusive, as long as it exceeds the limits imposed by good faith or good morals or the social or economic purpose of the right .
