Correct procedure for writing and preparation of contraventional procedural acts
Every year the contravention phenomenon is increasing, respectively, more and more contraventions are detected and examined by the investigating agents, employees of the public authorities with competences in this field. At the same time, the legislation imposes and requires the correct, clear and exact drafting of all procedural documents, in particular, the minutes regarding the contravention, the decision on the contravention case, the decision regarding the examination of the contravention based on the personal finding of the investigating agent, but also the procedural documents for carrying out certain procedural actions and fixing the evidence. The indicated aspects, in addition to the legal consequences, also reflect the degree of preparation and commitment of the ascertaining agent who, as a representative of the state, must apply the law in the sense of the correct legal qualification of the illegal act committed by the person, fixing all the conditions and the circumstances of the commission of this act, the identification data of the perpetrator, as well as the individualization of the contraventional sanction applied. Another category of procedural documents are those drawn up during the examination by the court of the contravention case, either in the case of the appeal against the decision of the investigating officer, or when the court has exclusive substantive jurisdiction in contravention matters.
