Abstract

This comment addresses the problem considered by the Polish Supreme Court concerning the determination of the right provision to be
used for the assessment of a continuing offence in the event of a change in the legal status occurring while the offence was being committed. The doubts within this scope presented before the Supreme Court concerned the relation of the prohibition on retroactive action in criminal law to continuous offences. The Supreme Court ruled that the new legislation should be applied to continuous offences. This paper is a comment on the Supreme Court’s ruling.
