This article focuses on presenting the changes implemented to the systematics of penal measures resulting from the amendments made to the Penal Code in 2015. The author pays particular attention to the legislator’s decision to remove confiscation, obligation to pay damages/compensation and punitive damages contained in the catalogue of penal measures in art. 39 of the Penal Code and transferring them to a new chapter „Va” of the Penal Code, which thereby differentiates two new categories of penal measures. The main part of the text concentrates on presenting and analysing the implemented changes within the scope of the regulation of penal measures with regards to the interdiction on driving vehicles (art. 42 of the Penal Code), which are primarily based on extending time limits and the grounds to impose this measure.

The paper examines the question of suicide in the light of Polish criminal law. The starting point of discussion is an analysis of actions leading to one depriving oneself of one’s own life which, at the same time, do not pose any harm to third parties. Here, the paper strives to answer the question whether suicide is legal or illegal in view of criminal law, as well as whether state interference with such actions is possible and justified. These questions serve as the background for the core part of the paper, in which justifications for the criminalization of suicidal acts simultaneously being attacks on third parties, i.e. so-called suicide attacks, are sought. The paper sheds light on the latest anti-terrorist laws and formulates conclusions pertaining to its directions of development, particularly in the field of combating suicide terrorist attacks.

The paper considers legal liability for exceeding the permissible speed limit whilst driving (speeding) in a built-up area by more than 50 km/h. In the centre of the writer’s attention is a conflict between two regimes of liability – administrative and that determined by the law of petty offences, concurrent occurrence of both of which may result in a violation of the constitutional prohibition on dual punishment. The problem will be discussed by reference to the judgment of the Polish Constitutional Court of 11 October 2016 (ref number K 24/15), whose principledness the paper disputes to the extent that it refused to infer that the conflicting regimes of liability do give rise to a violation of the principle of ne bis in idem.
