Interpretation of the law of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy by the current courts with regard to the authenticity of the language versio
Abstract
The article is focused on the application of the old Austrian legislative texts by the current courts in the Czech Republic with regards to the authenticity of the language version of the legal text in question. The main goal is to provide the reader with basic information about the situations in which these cases may be encountered and to offer him tips how to deal with them.
The issue is illustrated by the case of the restitution dispute, based on the interpretation of the 1832 expulsion patent, which had a major impact on the question of the loss of citizenship ot the applicant for the return of property. The article introduces the basic premises for the interpretation of the old Austrian monarchy legislation, which must be based primarily on a subjectively historical interpretation.
