Consolidated versions in the eSbírka and eLegislativa systems

Publication at Faculty of Law |

Abstract

The thesis concerns the question of producing consolidated versions of legal acts. Currently, this is provided solely by private legal databases, but with the new Act on the Collection of Laws and International Treaties coming into force, each promulgated legal act shall have binding consolidated versions of amended acts attached.

The problem is that conflicts that cause the necessity of legal interpretation might arise when creating a consolidated version. Furthermore, only a court is going to be entitled to proclaim authoritatively what the text of a law is.

Therefore, the thesis formulates principles that should be followed when crafting and publishing legislation so that consolidation conflicts and misleading addressees of the law occur as rarely as possible.
