Abstracts

EN

The author considers the relationship between law and morality on the basis of analysis of an actual legal case which has been resolved after nearly 13 years. From the criminal law plane, where this case began, its analysis passes to the civil and commercial legal issues in the concrete context of provisions of § 415 of the Civil Code,regarding the general obligation of every person to prevent damage, and § 424 of the Civil Code, regarding the liability for damage caused by an intentional breach of morality. The author raises the question whether, in regard to the relationship between law and morality, inflexible thinking in civil and commercial relations can be overcome.The detailed analysis of the case is also a critical challenge to all those who are concerned with thinking and behaving so that the Slovak Republic is regarded not only as a declared, but a genuinely legal, state.
