Abstract:
Amendment of the Act on the protection of nature, introduced by the Act of 25 June 2015 on amending the Act on Commune Self–government and other acts has significantly modified a model of an administrative fine which constitutes an administrative sanction for actions breaching of rules of green areas and afforestation protection. This change refers to objective and subjective aspects of torts, as well as a method of imposing financial sanctions. The introduced changes have significantly mitigated purely objective character of an administrative responsibility, providing a guarantee for, at least, minimal standards of imposing sanctions on individuals by the state.
