Die Rechtsregelung des Versicherungswesens in der Tschechoslowakei in der Zwischenkriegszeit
The legal regulation of the insurance law in Czechoslovakia in the interwar period

Summary/Abstract: The creation of Czechoslovak Republic in 1918 was an important milestone in the development of the insurance system. The legal order of the Austria-Hungarian monarchy was fully taken over by the statute Nr. 11/1918 Coll. – the reception norm. Consequently, the statute Nr. 501/1917 about insurance contract remained valid. The new state was trying to regulate the role of foreign insurance companies in Czechoslovakia. Since the beginning of the 1920s the role of foreign insurance companies was regulated by international contracts, which the republic began to conclude. One of the most significant legal enactments in the field of insurance in the period of the first republic was the statute Nr. 198/1932 Coll. about the motor vehicle transport, which imposed obligatory insurance of legal responsibility. The main positive thing in this period was above all the development of the private insurance law, which was how the Czechoslovak insurance system definitely gained a compact legal base. Especially in the after-war period there was therefore possible to successfully take up to this legal base.
