Summary/Abstract: The protection of older people is the consequence of their biological condition which is related with a wide range of restrictions. The dignity of the human person and a number of subjective rights require legal safeguards. These legal norms should not only guarantee the older people access to goods and services, but also have a positive influence on understanding of moral obligations towards them. That is on the shaping of moral and social attitudes. The law is to be a carrier of moral norms. It is to organize a social order. This is particularly important not only for the justice which should relate to older people but also to others.
