“In order for legal norms to actually have a real effect and impact on reality, it must be borne in mind that they must be adequately sanctioned. Otherwise, a disposition devoid of sanction, the so-called lex imperfecta, will not be able to achieve the relevant intended objectives. (…)
In order to ensure the proper implementation of the provisions that the legislator introduced in the Act of 11 January 2018 on electromobility and alternative fuels (hereinafter: the Electromobility Act), it was decided to apply protective instruments in the form of a catalogue of administrative torts and relevant fines. (…)
Pursuant to Article 189b of the Code of Administrative Procedure, an administrative fine is understood to be a pecuniary sanction specified by law, imposed by a public administration authority, by way of a decision, as a result of a breach of law consisting of a failure to comply with an obligation or a breach of a prohibition imposed on a natural person, a legal person or an organisational unit without legal personality.”
