The article is divided into three parts, the first deals with the empirical analysis of contemporary practice in the Czech courts, the second deals with the legal analysis of commissioning along with answering basic research questions related to commissioning practice, which concludes the final part of evaluating the possible consequences of deficient commissions and proposals for the future regulatory developments.
