DISHARMONY IN NON-PROPRIETARY DAMAGE COMPENSATION IN LABOUR AND CIVIL LAW IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC.

In the Czech Republic, regulation of non-proprietary damage is being dealt with by both labour and civil law. Compensation of non-proprietary damage involving work injury is being dealt with in the Labour Code. It is conditioned by such fact that work damage was caused when fulfilling the working tasks or caused in direct connection with it. In case the non-proprietary damage would occur outside the working tasks fulfilment then compensation would be solved by the Civil Code. However, as for the rules considering a compensation amount, there were changes made in the civil law, which were not respected by the labour law. An approach towards damage compensation is different. Recent developments in the field of damage compensation have led to a renewed interest in this area. The central thesis of this paper is out a current disharmony in labour and civil law as it comes to damage compensation. Authors discuss and critically evaluate the fact that compensations can become fundamentally disproportional. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
