Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the possibility of contractual shaping of, arising fromart. 6471 § 5 Civil Code the investor’s responsibility for payment of remuneration due tothe subcontractor of the general contractor for construction works. Art. 6471 § 6 CivilCode Indicates that different contract terms are invalid, but, on the other hand, statutoryregulation is very general, which raises the question of whether it is possible to specifyit in the contract. Considerations lead to the conclusion that the freedom of contract isnarrow and is essentially limited to the issue of clearance between the general contractorand the investor when the latter makes a payment to the subcontractor. It is also possibleto regulate the information obligations of the general contractor to the investor in respectof the clearance of the first contractor with the subcontractors.
