Abstract
The author discusses the legislation in the past, characterises the legislation currently in operation and at the end, he proposes ten suggestions for legal adjustment of the criminal warrant in a completely new penal procedure code. He pays special attention to the question, if a criminal warrant is a form of so-called diversion in a criminal proceeding, if a criminal warrant suits the interest of a person injured by the crime and if such a form of decision without trial is in keeping with the principles of a fair process.
