Civil Law in the Process of Transformation: New Challenges for Substantive, Procedural and Family Law in the V4 Countries
The section focuses on the analysis of transformative processes in the civil law systems of the V4 countries resulting from dynamic social, economic, technological and normative developments. Contributions addressing substantive, procedural and family law aspects of civil law are welcome, examined from the perspective of the evolution of legal institutions, legislative interventions, judicial trends and doctrinal approaches.
Particular attention is paid to the influence of European law, the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights, as well as ongoing codification and recodification processes within the legal systems of the V4 countries. The section addresses issues of effective protection of subjective rights, the balancing of rights and obligations of participants in civil-law relationships, and the position of weaker parties, both in substantive and procedural dimensions, including the specific features of family-law relations.
The aim of the section is to identify common transformative trends and national specificities of civil law in the V4 region, to assess their impact on legal certainty and the predictability of judicial decision-making, and to create a comparative scholarly forum for the presentation of theoretical foundations, results of legal-dogmatic analysis, and insights from legal practice within a broader European context.
