This article concerns a problem of unlawfulness. The subject under consideration is the relationship between the elements of an act, as the first sign of a crime, and unlawfulness, as well as the formal and material aspects of unlawfulness, and the relationship between unlawfulness and a criminal wrong. This article also considers whether there is a legally free space, and whether a provision regarding the establishment of unlawfulness according to the unified legal order is valid, and the appropriateness of the division of unlawfulness according to the branches of law is justified.
