Professor Jan Dědič, a partner of the law firm Kocián Šolc Balaštík, published two extensive contributions in the Legal Information Bulletin, a professional monthly for legal practice, on the new act of transformations of commercial companies and cooperatives, which became effective on 1 July 2008.
In the first contribution titled “Over the Transformation Act or the second ‘successful’ decodification of the Commercial Code”, Professor Dědič analyses the main changes in comparison with the existing regulation of transformations in the Commercial Code, including newly added transformations with a foreign element. In the second contribution, he addresses certain problematic issues of the new Transformation Act, such as ambiguities over terminology, discrepancies in references and other legislative and technical errors and problems in interpretation resulting therefrom.
