It discusses, whether such a differentiation is discriminatory or not, analyses the jurisprudence of the Czech Constitutional Court and focuses on the application of the theory in practise. Law and Economics, as well as several other influential theories are examined, being followed by critical description of situation in Czech criminal and administrative law and jurisprudence. The attitude of supreme courts, is rather hesitant and they seem to hold back. Their reasons are unclear, one of them might be that there are not many possible ways for administration to discover the real wealth of the offender.
