| Description | In 2023, we witnessed the release of a decision by the grand senate of the Czech Supreme Court, file no. 31 Cdo 2273/2022. Among other things, this decision clarified the procedure to be followed by courts when assessing the (in)appropriateness of a claimed contractual penalty within the meaning of § 2051 of the Czech Civil Code. In the event of a request by the debtor to moderate the contractual penalty, courts are now required to assess the amount of the contractual penalty claimed based on the circumstances prevailing at the time the contractual penalty was agreed, at the time the claim for the contractual penalty arose, and at the time after the claim for the contractual penalty arose. The aim of this article is to comprehensively consider the individual circumstances, provide specific examples of circumstances that can be examined, and address some of the opinions expressed by experts on this judicial practice. |
