The extent to which history is determinative of, or even relevant to, the present is of course subject to an old and inconclusive debate. There seems to be no guarantee that great social traditions and achievements of the past will be preserved to the present day, no matter what the effort. Conversely, however, if a society works hard at destroying its institutions and persists with this programme for decades, it is quite likely to succeed, as evidenced by the sad story of private law in several jurisdictions in central Europe in the second half of the 20th century.

This chapter discusses the law on creditor claims in the Czech Republic. The Czech Insolvency Act appears to deal with creditors’ claims in a fairly standard manner, making pre-insolvency claims subject to the process of claims submission and verification, and dealing with claims arising during the proceedings as administration claims. But the Insolvency Act actually confers upon creditors the power to decide on numerous of issues in the course of particular proceedings, eg, whether the debtor should be liquidated or reorganized. Many of the difficulties surrounding the Act’s rules on the submission and verification of claims are thus related to the question of who gets to decide on the course of the insolvency proceedings. The chapter then examines insolvency claims, administration claims, and non-enforceable claims in turn. Each section covers: the definition and scope of the claim; rules for submission, verification, and satisfaction or admission of claims; ranking of claims; and voting and other participation rights in insolvency proceedings.

If there is one area in the new Czech insolvency law that truly does not work well, it must be the rules on the treatment of contracts. Accordingly, this national report might be used as a warning against the kind of problems and inefficiencies that an ill-conceived set of rules on an important sub-topic may create, even within an otherwise reasonably progressive insolvency code.
