THE RESOLUTION OF APPARENT CONFLICTS BETWEEN PENAL LAWS

Abstract

In some cases, the judge needs to decide wich law to apply, because, not rare, he acrosses with the same criminal conduct in more than one penal type. To this phenomenon it is given the name, in penal doctrine, of apparent conflicts between penal laws. The right designation, because it isn't a real or effective conflict, but an imaginary concourse between two penal laws, in wich only one will subsist, being this "problem's" solution from some principle's application.
