Reform of the Czech Private Law
Czech Republic underwent extensive social and political change during the last 20 years. One of the major legal changes that will affect almost every facet of daily life will be the so far largest reform of the private law coming into force on 1 January 2014.
It’s been more than a year since all three cornerstone statutes were adopted – the New Civil Code (Act 89/2012), Act on Commercial Corporations (Act 90/2012) and Act on Private International Law (Act 91/2012).
