metadata.value: The article discusses issues that arose during enforcement of the new grounds for exemption from criminal responsibility, enshrined in 2016, in connection with a court fine (Article
  76.2 of the Criminal Code). Despite the criticism of its legislative regulation, demand for a
  new way of ceasing criminal prosecution began to appear in connection with the non-payment of a fine. Having determined the voluntary execution of a court fine, the legislator did
  not settle the issue of the further execution of the fine in cases where there are valid reasons
  for non-payment. After analyzing the existing proposals to solve this problem, the author
  confirms that the elimination of the gap would be facilitated by the legislative obligation of the
  bailiff to establish the circumstances by which the judicial penalty is not paid, as well as the addition of the list of decisions made by the bailiff to suspend enforcement proceeding. Analysis
  of judicial practice showed that Art. 76.2 of the Criminal Code began to be applied in cases
  where the court has justification for implementing less onerous grounds for the defendant to
  be exempt from criminal liability. Legislative duplication of the conditions under which criminal prosecution can be terminated for various reasons calls into question the wide alternative of the latter, as well as the embodiment of the idea of humanizing criminal law, which is the
  basis for securing a new ground for exemption from criminal liability. The article substantiates
  the proposal to supplement the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court dated June
  27, 2013 with a provision allowing the release of a person from criminal responsibility with
  a judicial fine in cases where the court has no basis for suspending criminal prosecution for
  unconditional types of exemption from criminal liability. The author draws attention to the
  gap in the legislation, part 3 of Article 78 of the Criminal Code, which is related to the renewal
  of the statute of limitations for criminal liability when an individual avoids paying a court fine.
