This article is devoted to the issue of the principle of an accurate disciplinary response in cases involving members of the civil service corps. It contains, in theoretical terms, the standards of adjudication in such cases by disciplinary committees. The principle of an appropriate disciplinary response is of central importance in this matter. It applies to both acquittal decisions and punishment decisions. The applicable provisions of the Civil Service Act are characterized by significant legal loopholes in this respect, hence a number of de lege ferenda postulates in this study.

The institution of the renewal of the proceedings is an extraordinary means of verifying the decisions made in the disciplinary proceedings of academic teachers. Its essence  consists  in   reconsidering   and   resolving a closed and non-appealable disciplinary case, if the proceedings were affected by a qualified legal defect. The core function of the resumption procedure is to protect the rule of law and the vital interests of academic teachers and/or their families.

Keywords: renewal of the disciplinary proceedings; academic teacher; disciplinary liability
