The noticeable increase in the importance of consensus in criminal proceedings including cases of petty offences, prompted reflection on the institutions allowing legal proceedings to be terminated without full evidence investigation.

The author of the following paper analyzes institutions of consensual resolving of disputes in legal proceedings concerning petty offences, pointing to the pros and cons of applying such a solution.
