Judicial Review of Restrictions on the Right to Conduct Business in the Czech Republic During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Lessons for Future Crises

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The article examines how the Czech courts addressed restrictions on the right to conduct business during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although grounded in the Czech authorities’ response to the health crisis, the analysis extends to broader conclusions about the necessity of upholding rule-of-law principles. The article therefore highlights how constitutional imperatives of proportionality, equality and the justification of government actions must be preserved in judicial review, even in times of crises.
