Often in contentious relationships, parties seek only the restitution of damages, while applying penal and misdemeanor sanction measures typically remains a subsidiary matter, which most often provides only moral satisfaction to the victims. At the same time, in providing such satisfaction, the state incurs significant expenses related to the penal or misdemeanor procedures it is obliged to conduct. Although for a long time, the issue of reimbursing procedural costs was not a subject of discussion, in recent decades, multiple discussions have been initiated, and a judicial practice related to the recovery of penal procedural expenses has consistently emerged, and later, that of misdemeanor procedural expenses as well.
