Slovak Government Approves New Civil Code to Replace 60-Year-Old Legal Framework

The Slovak government approved a new Civil Code on Wednesday, replacing legislation that has been in place for more than 60 years. The new legal framework aims to govern everyday relationships between individuals and companies while ensuring unity and clarity in the country's legal system. The current Civil Code was adopted over six decades ago, and the government says the new version will eliminate fragmentation in Slovakia's legal framework. The reform represents a fundamental change in the rules that regulate ordinary interactions between people and businesses in Slovakia.
