Changes in Cadastral Register
Proving identity and registration of applicants
It is no longer possible to inspect lists of titles and the Document Register. Such data (for example a copy of a list of titles or a copy of a document from the Document Register) shall be provided only subject to proving one’s identity and providing a statement of the purpose for which the data is to be used by the applicant; all these purposes are defined in the amended provisions of Section 1, subsection 3. Cadastral Offices keep records of persons to whom they provide such data. This change does not apply to usually required extracts from the Cadastral Register, i.e. consisting of several ownership sheets. The possibility of providing lists of titles in case of establishment of remote access also remains unchanged.
Stricter penalization
Unauthorized use or distribution of personal data obtained from the Cadastral Register is now penalized pursuant to the Act on Personal Data Protection, which contains sanctions significantly stricter than those available to the Cadastral Office.
A significant regulation was added that allows electronic filing of applications for entry into the Cadastral Register, including documents intended to be filed in the Document Register.
These amendments come into force from 1 March 2009.

Evidence skutečných majitelů: Co přinese znepřístupnění od 17. prosince 2025?
Letošní rozhodnutí Nejvyššího soudu a Nejvyššího správního soudu navázala na rozsudky Soudního dvora Evropské unie, a, s platností i pro Českou republiku, konstatovala, že zveřejňování údajů v rámci evidence skutečných majitelů představuje nepřiměřený zásah do základních práv majitelů na soukromí a ochranu osobních údajů. Důležitým aspektem těchto rozhodnutí byl závěr, že sankce, které postihují povinné subjekty jako reakce na nesplnění jejich povinnosti zápisu do evidence skutečných majitelů, není možné vymáhat, dokud je evidence veřejná. Tato situace se změní 17. prosince 2025, kdy ministerstvo znepřístupní evidenci skutečných majitelů; povinným subjektům tak budou opět hrozit závažné sankce.
30th Advent Concert for the Committee of Good Will – Olga Havlová Foundation
This year again, during the pre-Christmas season, the Advent Concert of Good Will took place. Since 1995, it has been organised by the law firm Kocián Šolc Balaštík in support of the Committee of Good Will – Olga Havlová Foundation. This was already the 30th anniversary edition, made exceptional by the fact that we organised it for the first time together with our partner, Smetanova Litomyšl, as part of a broader mutual cooperation. As always, the concert was held in the concert hall of the Church of Sts. Simon and Jude in Prague’s Old Town.
