Section 77b

Dispensing with stating reasoning for the judgment

(1) Written reasoning for the judgment may be dispensed with where all those entitled to contest it refrain from lodging a complaint on a point of law, or where no such complaint is lodged within the time-limit. If the public prosecution office has not attended the main hearing, it is not necessary for it to declare its waiver; written reasons for the judgment are however necessary if so requested by the public prosecution office prior to the main hearing. A declaration of waiver by the person concerned is dispensable if he or she has been released from the obligation to attend the main hearing, if he or she was represented by defence counsel at the main hearing, and if the regulatory fine assessed in the judgment was not more than two hundred and fifty euros.

(2) The reasoning for the judgment is placed on file within the time-limit provided for in section 275 (1) sentence 2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure if restoration of the status quo ante is granted in respect of failure to observe the time-limit set for the complaint on a point of law, or if a complaint on a point of law has been lodged by the public prosecution office in cases under subsection (1) first half of sentence 2, or by the person concerned in cases under subsection (1) sentence 3.
