| Description | The new Civil Code came into force on 1st January 2014 and went to as the greatest intervention to the system of law of the Czech Republic after the Velvet Revolution and it is affecting almost all legal fields. Contribution focuses on the fundamental difficulties that arise from this new discontinuous regulation of private law relationships which can occur in understanding of law itself. All legal consciousness in terms of Czech Republic is experiencing a great shift. Fundamental changes are not only in the process of interpretation and application of this regulation by the civil courts and professionals. Legal awareness affects whole society. Contribution is based on comparative analysis of the Internet presentations of civil recodifications in Europe. Strengthening of connection between new legal regulation and intentional influence on legal consciousness has to be seen as a macro trend in current legal regulation. The Czech recodification is compared with current similar foreign recodifications of private law in particular European countries in order to find a general theory of the above-mentioned trend in the recodification processes. |
