Civil Law

Civil law is one of the broadest areas of law and is directly related to people’s daily lives. It regulates relationships between individuals in various aspects, protecting rights and guaranteeing duties in common situations of personal and family life.

Even if you don’t realize it, civil law is present in many parts of your day:

• Marriage, stable union and divorce.
  Regulates the rights and duties of spouses, separation and division of property.
• Buying and selling real estate and vehicles.
  Guarantees legal certainty in transactions, avoiding fraud or losses.
• Contracts in general.
  From a lease to a loan between friends – everything can (and should) be formalized on the basis of civil law.
• Inventory and inheritance.
  Defines how the assets of a deceased person should be distributed among the heirs.
• Civil liability.
  Damage situations, such as traffic accidents or problems with neighbors, are dealt with on the basis of civil law.
• Consumer protection and personal relationships.
  Although there is a specific consumer code, it is directly linked to the principles of civil law.
