Abstract

The concept of the so-called “continuous offence” has been hotly debated for years, both by legal academics and in doctrinal writings. This paper addresses one of the most controversial grounds for regarding a prohibited act as a continuous offence, i.e. acting with premeditated intent. Basing a key criterion for considering an act a continuous offence on the subjective side of the offence has made it impossible to work out clear-cut criteria for establishing that an offender acted with premeditated intent, even though the concept of continuous offence has been employed for over twenty years now.
