| Description | In case No. II ÚS 3357/20, the Czech Constitutional Court dealt with the procedure of civil courts concerning the protection of property rights. The complainants - a group of farmers - demanded that the State (the Ministry of the Environment) adopt legislation allowing the shooting of wolves that cause them damage. The Constitutional Court rejected the complaint and upheld the conclusion that it could not be sought to impose an obligation on the State to draft law under the Civil Code. The authors argue that in its essence, the relationship between farmers and the State is of a public law nature, so the civil courts should have referred the matter to the administrative courts. Administrative justice provides protection against unlawful interference, and the courts can impose certain obligations. These obligations may also take the concrete form of carrying out a specific, even legislative process. |
