The paper is devoted to the new Czech Civil Code, thanks to which the Czech private law has experienced its greatest legislative change in the last fifty years representing its ultimate diversion from the socialist law principle. The author discusses briefly the development of Czech private law in general, as well as the recodification process. However, the focus of the paper lies mainly in the presentation of the new Czech Civil Code to the public of Visegrad Group countries. The aim of the presented paper is to provide a complex and unbiased view on the new Czech Civil Code, which in some respects may serve as an inspiration for the drafters of the new Slovak and Polish Civil Code.
