Η αρχή της νομιμότητας στους ιερούς κανόνες Ι. Η αρχή της μη αναδρομικότητας στους κανόνες των Οικουμενικών Συνόδων (Nullum crimen nulla poena sine lege praevia). Η σπουδή της περιπτώσεως. Αθήνα: [Forschungen Zur Byzantinischen Rechtsgeschichte – Athener Reihe], Αντ. Σάκκουλας; 2007 pp. 388.
Abstract:
It is proved that the Holy Canons of the seven Ecumenical Synods, and subsequently the whole framework of Canon Law, applies and follows the no punishment without preexisting law principle, firstly introduced in ecclesiastical law by Saint Paul the Apostle. What is really notable is that Holy Canons service the admissible exceptions of the nullum crimen nulla poena sine lege praevia doctrine, in almost the same way they are instituted in contemporaries statuary penal laws.
