Administrative fines imposedAdministrative fines imposed by the Bank Guarantee Fund – analysis under financial law by the Bank Guarantee Fund - analysis under financial law

Abstract

This study discusses the issues of the legal status of administrative fines. The authors deemed it desirable to apply various investigation methods in this area of research, such as a review and analysis of the established line of judicial decisions (legislative acts, court decisions, official documents) and a comparative analysis. For this reason, the second part of the study discusses the issues in question (synthetically) while taking into consideration the French, German and Danish legal orders. The majority of the research was also devoted to an analysis of the legal status of the Bank Guarantee Fund (hereinafter: BGF or Fund) and to a discussion of types of administrative fines imposed by the Fund. An analysis and review of the law in force was used as a primary tool in this research area. The underlying goal of this research was to establish the legal status of administrative fines imposed by the BGF and their types, assuming that these penalties mainly play a preventive and repressive function. These issues have a practical and theoretical importance, since they may be used at the stage of law-giving and law-application, and also in scholarly investigations. The study takes into account the legal status as of 23 April 2023.
