Article 156 of the Environmental Protection Act prohibits the use of sound systems or equipment in publicly accessible areas of towns, built-up areas and areas intended for recreation and leisure purposes. This prohibition results directly from the law and does not require a separate interpretation, e.g. in the form of an administrative decision. However, its application in practice can be troublesome due to interpretation difficulties caused by the fact that the terms used in the regulation are not directly defined by the applicable law. The author discusses the subjective and objective scope of the prohibition, pointing to examples of judicial decisions, and indicating the consequences of its violation.
