On the qualification and evaluation of complex acts using the example of the relationship between extortion of debt repayment and «classical» extortion

The subject of the analysis is the problem of mutual relations between Article 191(2) and Article 282(1) of the Criminal Code. The analysis is conducted on two levels: the abstract-general level and the individual-concrete level. In the context of the former, an attempt is made to show that it is possible to imagine cases where a single act displays the elements of both extortion of debt repayment and „classical” extortion. On the latter level, an attempt is made to demonstrate the functional advantages in the event of cumulative qualification of such cases.
