Criminal law

Criminal law describes the reprehensible behaviours (infringements) and formalises the society’s reaction towards such behaviours. This reaction is implemented by way of sanctions, being a custodial sentence, monetary penalty, daily penalty units, fines as well as incarceration.

Whether you are accused of having committed an infringement, or if you are a victim of a criminal offense, you have rights; your due process rights are implemented throughout the criminal proceedings. The criminal proceedings usually are based on a complaint submitted to the police, or to the public prosecutor, and sometimes can lead to a Summary Penalty Order. The various situations of one person’s daily live can lead to be confronted, either as an offender or as a victim, with situations in which criminal acts are committed. This does not apply only to “others”! Reprehensible behaviours include being into a fight or a brawl, being assaulted, injured, threatened or harassed. Other types of misconducts can consist in – wilful – defamation, disloyal competition (cf. Disloyal competition), criminal mismanagement, infringements to the road traffic (cf. Road traffic), robbery, fraud, misappropriation or forgery. Confronted to such unpleasant situations, one may feel the need to explain the reasons for committing such act, respectively, for the victim, to understand the reasons behind such act.

Road traffic law provides the legal framework in relation to the traffic on the public road, civil and insurance liability for damages as well as sanctions in case of infringements to the regulations on road traffic.

Nowadays, it is hard to avoid being confronted to traffic, either as a pedestrian, as a cyclist or as a car driver. This omnipresence has brought up, as a direct consequence, a duplication of conflicts and litigation in this respect. Furthermore, such disputes may be of a sensitive and delicate nature, especially when they involve, for instance, deeply injured or even casualties, as a direct result of a traffic accident. In those hypothetical scenarios, following administrative and criminal proceedings , you may find yourself the subject of sanctions (cf. Infringements and complaints), being the confiscation of your driving licence, but also fines or other criminal sanctions.

Disloyal competition law aims at guaranteeing a loyal and fair competition, in the interest of all markets’ stakeholders, including inter alia companies and consumers (cf. Consumption).

The law provides protection against disloyal commercial behaviours, being misleading or aggressive, e.g. a smear campaign against a direct competitor, or products’ imitation. The legislation also regulates how prices shall be displayed, in particular during sales periods. It further provides general rules which apply to publicity and advertisements. Moreover, consumers are protected against unfair general terms and conditions. Infringements to the law on disloyal competition (“LCD”) may be criminally sanctioned. They might also incur civil consequences, with the possibility for the applicant to ask the court to prohibit a threatened infringement, order that an existing infringement cease, or make a declaration that an infringement is unlawful if it continues to have an offensive effect. Furthermore, administrative requirements are to be respected.
