SUMMARY

The study is an attempt to interpret the current legal status in the light of the judicature of the Supreme Court regarding the premises for re-interviewing a minor victim under Art. 185a of the Code of Criminal Procedure The discussed considerations concern the possibility of the court withdrawing from the next questioning, despite the demand of the accused, who did not have a lawyer during the first questioning of the child. The author expresses the opinion that the practice of applying the law presented in the judgment in question falls within the limits of the judge’s discretionary power and indicates the methodology of resolving the conflict of legal principles in the form of the best interests of the child and the defendant’s right to defence. The publication postulated that the imperative of re-interviewing the victim under Art. 185a of the Code of Criminal Procedure has always been associated with the implementation of the principle of substantive truth, while taking into account the protected interests of the injured party and the defendant’s right to defence.

Keywords: the best interests of the child, the right to defence, the minor’s hearing, judicial application of the law
