Abstract

In this paper, I focused on consumer protection concerning contracts negotiated away from business premises in the Czech private law and I also reviewed transposition of the directive on consumer rights into the new Czech Civil code. Aside from that, I tried to answer the question whether the specifically endangered consumers (usually senior citizens) are granted sufficient protection by the Czech private law, or whether the EU law (especially the Directive 2011/83/EU) provides sufficient substantive-law protection concerning the contracts negotiated away from business premises.
