Juridica published Simone Eelmaa’s article on the interruption of the limitation period for an offence

Our attorney Simone Eelmaa published an article in issue 7 of Juridica titled “Some Thoughts on the Interruption of the Limitation Period for an Offence within the Meaning of § 81(5)5 of the Penal Code.” The article focuses on an important practical question in criminal proceedings: whether the submission of additional evidence at a court hearing can interrupt the limitation period for an offence. Simone analyses the interaction between § 297 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and § 81(5)5 of the Penal Code and explains why the distinction between submitting evidence and collecting evidence should not be blurred too lightly in proceedings.
