Abstract
The article describes significant changes in corporate governance in the Czech recodification of the Czech private law. In the Czech Republic, from 1992 to 2014, the Act No. 513/1991 Coll. the Commercial Code, regulated only the dualistic (two-tier) model of joint-stock companies internal structure.
Currently, the dualistic model and the newly regulated Czech monistic (one-tier) model of a joint-stock company is regulated in the new Act on Commercial Companies and Cooperatives ("the Business Corporations Act") No. 90/2012 Coll., which came into effect in January 2014. Other status which affects the Czech corporate governance is the Civil Code (No. 89/2012 Coll.) which came into effect in January 2014, too.
