»Ne bis in idem« in Europa

Kundeninformationen

Abstract The prohibition of double punishment for the same act (ne bis in idem) is guaranteed with different scope on several levels in the European Union. With the entry into force of the Charter of Fundamental Rights the complexity of this prohibition increased. The conference proceedings include the most essential issues of interpretation of the ne bis in idem principle: Is the concept of „act“ to be defined factually or normatively? Is there a need for an autonomous European term of „legal force“? What requirements have to be fulfilled for a transnational resumption of criminal proceedings? Can the limitations of transnational ne bis in idem still be maintained? What role does the differing approach of the ECJ in competition law play? The authors analyze judgments of the ECJ and the ECtHR and demonstrate differences. These give the authors the opportunity to develop their own solution concepts.
