Abstract

In 2012, the Czech Parliament approved two key Acts essential to the re-enactment of Czech private law: Act No. 89/2012 Coll., the Civil Code, and Act No. 90/2012 Coll., the Business Corporations Act. Both Acts took effect on 1 January 2014 and introduced a number of fundamental changes to Czech law. This article outlines the most significant changes applicable to joint-stock companies and analyses the basic innovations which the new legislation has brought to investors utilising the legal form of a joint-stock company in the Czech Republic.
