Abstract
The gloss concerns the admissibility of changing the description of the act alleged against the defendant and/or his legal qualification in the penal order in the context of the statutory prerequisites for adjudication in penal order proceedings. The author expresses the view that such a change is possible if it does not go beyond the limits of the prosecutor’s complaint and is based on the evidence collected in the preparatory proceedings. If there are evidentiary doubts as to the circumstances of the act and the guilt of the accused, the same proceedings in the order for payment procedure are inadmissible, and consequently the court may not issue a penalty order. However, if the evidence allows for adjudication in the prescriptive mode, the court may change the description of the act alleged against the accused and/or his legal classification, as the procedural law does not rule out such a possibility.
