Legal classification of the attempted theft during the state of emergency in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic

The Supreme Court, sitting as the Grand Chamber of the Criminal Division, in its judgment of 16 March 2021 (Ref. No. 15 Tdo 110/2021) addressed the issue concerning legal classification of the attempted theft during the state of emergency. The Grand Chamber had to unify the contrasting views of fourth and sixth chamber of the Criminal Division concerning the conditions for using higher penalty for a theft according to Section 205 (2) and (4) (b) of the Criminal Code. This provision in its paragraph 4 (b) stipulates that the offender shall be punished with higher penalty if the theft is committed during an “event seriously threatening the life or health of people”.
