Abstract

This section of the book is devoted to the presentation of the basic institutes of Lithuanian public law: the constitutional, administrative, criminal, tax, financial, and labor law institutes. These are surveyed in two essential sections. First is the historical perspective, which provides coverage of the historical development of certain institutes. The second perspective covers the major aspects of the institutes of public law in contemporary Lithuania, concluding with expected future tendencies. Significant attention is given to the contemporary regulation of the institute, including public administration, administrative liability, and some peculiarities of administrative procedure, including an overview of the special institute of the administrative courts. In criminal law and procedure, the classification of criminal acts, the institute of diminished capacity, the criminal penal system, and stages of criminal procedure are introduced. They focus on the aspects that introduced or experienced major changes by way of the introduction of new codes. In the part of the taxes additionally to the tax regulation, the major financial instruments, including both traditional ones such as credit institutions, insurance, and pensions, and rapidly developing instruments such as markets of financial instruments and electronic money, are discussed. From the January 1, 2017, a new Labour Code will be in force, which will be discussed in the part of labor law.

“The constitutional laws which are named constitutional laws by the Constitution itself and the constitutional laws that will be entered into the list of constitutional laws as well as the constitutional law whereby the list of constitutional laws is established are of lower legal power than the Constitution itself, however, the legal power of such constitutional laws is higher than ordinary laws; ordinary laws cannot be in conflict with constitutional laws” (Sinkevičius (2008)).

Ruling of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Lithuania in Case No. 43/01, enacted on 21 August, 2002: “4. Under the Constitution, only the Constitutional Court shall decide whether the laws and other legal acts adopted by the Seimas are in conformity with the Constitution and whether legal acts adopted by the President of the Republic and the Government of the Republic are in conformity with the Constitution or laws (Paragraph 1 of Article 102). Paragraph 1 of Article 110 of the Constitution provides that judges may not apply laws which conflict with the Constitution. Under Paragraph 2 of the same article, in cases when there are grounds to believe that the law or other legal act applicable in a certain case conflicts with the Constitution, the judge shall suspend the investigation and shall apply to the Constitutional Court to decide whether the law or other legal act in question complies with the Constitution. These constitutional provisions mean than in cases when a court considering a case, after it questions the compliance of the law applicable in the case with the Constitution or the compliance of another act adopted by the Seimas, the President of the Republic of the Government with the Constitution or the laws, applies to the Constitutional Court, the latter has a duty to consider the petition of the said court regardless of the fact whether the impugned law or another legal act is valid or not.”

As critical examples are mentioned some norms of special part in which qualified (heavier liability) is established. One example—theft of a vehicle is established as a qualified theft which is already the second category of intentional crime for which imprisonment of up to 6 years could be provided. However, the value of the car is not important (i.e. it could be situations that theft of 200 euros (or even a cheaper one) vehicle could be punished much more strictly than theft of other property of much higher value). The next example—an organized group is defined as one of the aggravating circumstances in the general part of the CC but in few norms (Robbery and Extortion of property) it is either introduced as a feature increasing criminal liability (qualified crime) and etc. See: Švedas and Prapiestis (2011), pp. 21–22.
