| Description | The paper deals with the consumer position in relations with entrepreneurs, particularly on legal protection of consumer against business practices of entrepreneurs. In the opposite view, it should also be clear what level of consumer protection entrepreneurs should expect in the Czech Republic. The main purpose of the paper is to determine whether the legal regulation in EU legislation (in directives and regulations) and national regulation in Czech legislation (public and private) ensure adequate consumer protection against unfair business practices of entrepreneurs in connection with their business in the Czech Republic and what procedures are banned to entrepreneurs in relations with consumers. Selected examples from practice demonstrate how national authorities could intervene in cases of violation of rules adopted for the purpose of consumer protection in the EU legislation and in national legislation and how specifically is decided about these violations in the Czech Republic. In the conclusion of paper, the authors summarize their findings from examined issue of consumer protection against unfair business practices under public and private regulation in the Czech Republic and they also offer drafts de lege ferenda. |
