Abstract
The article deals with the interdisciplinary context on the concept of damages and names the current issues that these contexts bring to the decision on damages in the so-called adhesion proceedings, which is part of criminal proceedings. First, the divergences in the concept of damages under civil law and substantive criminal law are discussed.
Next, the article discusses the fundamental differences in the application of a private law claim in criminal and civil proceedings, which may affect the actual decision on the claim. Finally, the article discusses possible differences in the understanding of damages in civil court proceedings and in the adhesion proceedings themselves in the context of criminal proceedings, which, in the authors' opinion, are the most controversial and fundamentally problematic, but the consistent enforcement of a completely identical understanding of the claim in civil court proceedings and in adhesion proceedings, which are part of criminal proceedings, may pose similarly serious problems of principle.
