Is it an attempt to release from responsibility? Prosecutor Monika Kaszubowicz emphasizes that clauses in the regulations do not mean that the organizer may give up the obligation to guarantee safe conditions.
In her opinion, it is impossible to repeal from responsibility when an unfortunate event occurs during the event.
– It’s not like a person who organizes a party with a certain risk can release himself from responsibility based on such entries. It is the organizer to ensure security. These provisions, from the point of view of criminal law, do not matter to us – explains prosecutor Dr. Monika Kaszubowicz, deputy of the District Prosecutor in Krosno.
According to the prosecutor, from the perspective of criminal law, it is a priority to determine whether the person preparing the event has completed the necessary activities ensuring the protection of participants and viewers. The final assessment always depends on the specific circumstances, but the regulations themselves do not exclude the organizer’s liability.
