Examples of Criminal Procedure Act in a sentence
When enacting the new Criminal Procedure Act in 2008, the Croatian legislator drastically widened the scope of application of judgment based on agreement of the parties to all criminal offences,69 including the most seri- ous ones and those under the jurisdiction of the Office for the Suppression of Corruption and Organised Crime.
Judgment based on agreement of the parties was introduced in Croatian legislation with the new Criminal Procedure Act (CPA) in 2008,66 primarily with the goal of providing an eco- nomical and fast resolution of criminal cases.67 The corresponding consensual form that ex- isted in the previous CPA of 199768 was reserved for less serious to more serious criminal offences, punishable with imprisonment of up to ten years.
