Abstract

The so called “independence of legal spheres” is nothing short of a myth, since it is based on the idea that an alleged separation between civil, criminal and administrative proceedings would be useful in order to solve practical problems arising from the judicial practice. From a principiological analysis and listing the legal and logical exceptions to this idea, we conclude that the “independence of legal spheres” can only be considered valid if it is based on a monovalent principle that is not contrary to a logical or legal principle of higher hiearchy.
