| Description | Agreements on jurisdiction are and have been regulated in the Czech Republic by a number of legal norms of domestic, European and international origin. Despite the existence of a favourable legal environment (and professional legal literature recommendations), parties’ agreements on jurisdiction do not constitute the preferred manner of establishing court jurisdiction, either at the national or international level. This is due to several reasons, some of which are historically conditioned and the outcome of a certain force of habit. With respect to the national level, it is important to note that until 1991 all disputes between companies were processed within the framework of a special economic arbitration, i.e. not before the courts. |
