Abstract

The article deals with the actual legislative problems of buildings and other constructions in the private (civil) law. It underlines some shortcomings of several provisions of the Civil Code of Slovakia in the terms of their coherence with the principles of private law. The absence of the right to build, denial of "superficies solo cedit" and other solutions overcome by development of the legal system a long time ago create a deficit of legal certainty, the elimination of which should be the primary objective of the recent recodification process in civil law.

Summary

The article deals with the actual legislative problems of buildings and other constructions in the private (civil) law. It underlines some shortcomings of several provisions of the Civil Code of Slovakia in the terms of their coherence with the principles of private law. The absence of the right to build, denial of "superficies solo cedit" and other solutions overcome by development of the legal system a long time ago create a deficit of legal certainty, the elimination of which should be the primary objective of the recent recodification process in civil law.
