abstract in English:
In the commented decision, for the first time in Supreme Court's case law, there is any criticism of the conception of extra-statutory defence of art. The Supreme Court correctly challenged the criteria of the defence of art formulated in literature as unclear and vague. The commentary states that the commented standpoint of the Supreme Court may be strengthened with three additional statements referring to constitutional values, the provisions of the Criminal Code and regulations of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Firstly, there is no extra-statutory defence of art, because there are no extra-statutory defences at all. Secondly, there is no extra-statutory defence of art, because there is a statutory defence of art. Thirdly, the extra-statutory defence of art, even if it exists, is without force. Finally, fourthly, there is no defence of art, because its features have not been specified. In the commented decision, the Supreme Court expressed and partially correctly justified only the last of the above theses.
