Thus
,
the
Grand
Chamber
’s
task
in
this
case
was
mainly
to
determine
whether
the
domestic
courts
’
decision
to
apply
Article
215a
of
the
Criminal
Code
,
which
had
come
into
force
on
1
June
2004
,
also
to
the
applicant
’s
actions
committed
prior
to
that
date
entailed
negative
consequences
for
him
,
for
instance
in
terms
of
his
punishment
.
In
the
light
of
the
Government
’s
observations
and
the
sentencing
rules
defined
by
Czech
law
,
the
domestic
courts
’
approach
could
not
,
and
did
not
,
have
any
detrimental
effect
on
the
severity
of
the
applicant
’s
punishment
.
Albeit
summarily
,
the
domestic
courts
did
consider
,
correctly
,
that
all
the
legal
ingredients
of
the
offence
set
forth
in
Article
215a
§
§
1
and
2
(
b
)
of
the
Criminal
Code
were
fulfilled
also
with
regard
to
the
assault
committed
prior
to
the
entry
into
force
of
that
provision
.
