Legalweb has published an article featuring our partner Aleš Hradil, focusing on the current debate around judicial holidays, the digitalisation of the justice system, and changes to the court system.

In the article, Aleš Hradil points out that the introduction of judicial holidays should not currently be the main priority of the Czech justice system. He considers the completion of genuine digitalization of the judiciary to be more important, particularly the introduction of a fully electronic court file, which could eliminate part of the costs, delays, and practical complications associated with conducting court proceedings.

In the interview, he also comments on possible models of judicial holidays, the risk of prolonging proceedings, access to justice, and the debate on changes to the court map. He emphasizes that the primary objective of any potential changes should be the quality and speed of decision-making, rather than merely reducing the number of courts or cutting costs.

The programme also covered the obligations of holding owners, the tax aspects of holding structures, and the ways in which a holding can be used as a tool for more efficient business. The theoretical part was supplemented by specific practical examples illustrating both the advantages and the potential pitfalls of this type of arrangement.
