Abstract
The article 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 published legal act shall have binding consolidated versions of amended acts attached.
The problem is that, creating a consolidated version, conflicts necessitating legal interpretation might arise. Furthermore, only a court is going to be entitled to proclaim authoritatively what the text of a law is.
Therefore, the article 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.
