As we have already mentioned in the first part, the new Civil Code has brought two main lines of changes in the area of vehicle transfer. These concern the basic risks associated with the purchase of a used car.

When we buy a used car, we’re kind of buying a rabbit in the bag every time. But that rabbit may be inedible or even stolen. Last time we dealt with a stolen car, today we’ll deal with a defective car.
In the area of defects and warranty, Czech law has gone through a real whirlwind. There is no room here to examine the debate on whether or not the mandatory two-year guarantee for consumer goods has been abolished. What is certain, however, is that now the warranty (even for second-hand goods) does not have to be set out in writing in the contract, since even the indication of the warranty period in the manual or in the advertisement will have binding effects on the seller. For example, a leaflet from a car dealership or a radio advertisement mentioning a superior, e.g. seven-year warranty will suffice. However, it is advisable to keep such an advertisement somehow (e.g. a print screen from a computer screen) so that there is no lack of evidence in any proceedings.
As regards the defects in the car itself, the new Civil Code increases the variety of possible claims. As regards hidden defects, they can be notified within two years of handing over the car to the buyer. Depending on the nature of the defect, the buyer is then entitled to a replacement of the defective item, a repair, a discount, or a cancellation of the contract and a refund.

However, the law prefers replacement or repair, which is probably the most fundamental change in philosophy. The injured party should not be punished twice. Once he is punished by damage to the car (a dropped mirror) and the second time by the loss of time and other expenses in arranging the repair. The new Civil Code therefore grants the right to repair as a whole and, if necessary, financial compensation that at least allows the purchase of a conveniently marketable alternative.

Seriously, what could be better than that? While it sounds ‘too good to be true,’ I’m happy to report that the staff at DA are pros, and what’s more they are honestly dedicated to their awesome mission, which is to make quality legal services affordable for the average person. I find their prices very fair when compared to what I’ve usually paid for similar services, which means I (and my family and friends) can get the legal help I need without worrying about some black hole of never-ending fees. In my own experience with DA I’ve found everyone there very responsive, and emails and calls are answered in a timely manner. Their large staff also gives me confidence that any legal needs I have can be handled professionally, as there’s always someone with experience in my particular issue. Their head attorney also writes a regular blog and keeps up with all the latest legal trends, which means they as a business stay up-to-date. As someone who’s spent a fortune over the years on legal assistance, or tried to “go it alone” when I couldn’t afford legal help, I wish Dostupny Advokat had been around a long time ago. I highly encourage anyone who needs legal help to TRY THEM FIRST!
We had terms and conditions drafted for our gym, and now we are very glad that we did so. Clear relationship rules are the basis for lasting friendships, and never more so than in the business world!
I felt very uncomfortable meeting an attorney in person. But Dostupný advokát managed to solve everything for me online. I bought a consultation because my employer had sent me for a long term business trip to an exotic country with no explanation, and I wanted to be sure what my rights in this situation were. (zobrazit více) The Skype consultation was very pleasant and the service was fast. I can fully recommend them.
