Such conduct may be considered a criminal act, however, upon meeting statutory conditions, the unlawfulness of such conduct is excluded entirely. Therefore, it will not be a criminal act and the individual cannot be punished, neither under criminal law, nor legal rules of other legal areas.

HAUER, František
This work provides a comprehensive look at the issues and current concepts of circumstances precluding unlawfulness in the Czech Republic, which are defined in the Criminal Code No. 140/1961 Coll. valid until 31.12.2009 (necessary defense, exigency, legitimate use of weapons).The purpose of this work is to create the practical tools for citizens of our country how to behave and act in situations of the immediate danger to their property, health or life, or other rights and freedoms declared by the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms, in the context of immediate unlawful conduct of other persons.In this thesis there are gradually given various conditions which the attack must meet, the risk of defending against unlawful conduct and this act itself could be considered by the competent authorities as an act within the limits of the particular circumstances excluding the unlawfulness. The decisions of law enforcement bodies present their approach to this issue. It also includes a view of the installation of automatic defense equipment, the use and installation is currently not regulated by law as an effective means to protect their property. Due to the upcoming of the new Penal Code No. 40/2009 Coll., As amended, at work there is also a chapter by circumstances precluding unlawfulness de lege ferenda under the Criminal Code with the consideration of their other possible legislation. In the fifth chapter is a comparison made these circumstances with foreign legislation.
