AUTONOMIE VŮLE – ZHODNOCENÍ STAVU

Autonomy of the will is the essential concept of private law. Autonomy of the will means the possibility for each legal person to organise its legal relations according to its own free will. It is a part of the general principle of self-determination and it is specified mostly by norms of private law. Traditionally, autonomy of the will is most strongly exercised in the law of obligations. Nevertheless, autonomy of the will is never exercised without any restriction. Limitations on autonomy of the will result not only from the need to protect the others, but also from the protection of public interests. In any case, it is essentially undeniable in legal orders of free democratic states.
