THE LAW

of 23 February 1962

on hunting

The National Assembly of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic decided on this law:

§ 1

Preliminary provisions

Hunting is an activity that protects, utilises and improves the natural wealth of conservation, processing, breeding and hunting of animals and their living conditions and is an integral part of a set of economic activities carried out by man in nature.

ČÁST PRVÁ

Right of hunting

§ 2

(1) The right of hunting is a summary of the rights and obligations of the game to protect, to deliberately breed, to hunt, to take possession of hunted or extinguished game, to collect antlers and feathered game eggs, and to use to that extent the necessary hunting grounds. The right of hunting may be exercised only in accordance with this law and the provisions issued for its implementation.

(2) The owner of the hunting grounds may leave the tenant, who is a Czechoslovak physicy1) or a Czechoslovak law2) a person to the lease, and the right to hunting; subletting the right of hunting is prohibited.

ČÁST DRUHÁ

Jerries, disciplines and separate pheasants

§ 5

(1) The right of hunting may only be exercised on hunting grounds recognised by the district authority as hunting, field or individual pheasant.

(2) Jerries in which the right of hunting may be exercised are either chases of their own or of society.

(3) Jerries are created with regard to the interests of game farming.

§ 6

(1) The district office may recognise as its own hunting grounds all continuous hunting grounds owned by a Czechoslovak natural or Czechoslovak legal person or, where applicable, by a person who rents such land and has a hunting right in accordance with § 2 (2) (hereinafter referred to as "owner of hunting grounds") if they have an area of at least 500 ha. The application for recognition of the hunting grounds shall be submitted by the owner of the hunting grounds. Other continuous affluent parcels of other owners may be added to one owner's hunting grounds of 500 ha if agreed upon. The agreement must be in writing. This procedure is only possible when a chase is recognised.

(2) The County Office may, on its own initiative, recognise as its own hunting ground owned by one owner, provided that it has an area of at least 500 ha, unless the owner himself submits an application for their recognition as a hunting ground. The costs associated with this shall be borne by the owner of the hunting grounds.

(3) The district office may recognise as a social chase more than one owner's hunting grounds, where the area of the hunting grounds of one owner is less than 500 ha, the land is linked and reaches at least 500 ha and their owners form a hunting community. (3) The proposal for recognition of the social chase is submitted by the social society. The owner of continuous hunting grounds of more than 500 hectares may also be a member of the company's hunting grounds if he is not interested in recognising his own hunting grounds.

(4) The county authority may recognise as a collective hunting ground of several owners on its own initiative, if the area of the hunting grounds of one owner is less than 500 ha, the land is linked and reaches at least 500 ha and their owners did not form a hunting community or the latter did not submit a proposal for recognition of the hunting ground. The costs associated with this shall be borne by the owners of the hunting grounds recognised as such for hunting, unless they submit to the district office documents certifying their ownership of the hunting grounds.

(5) Hunting land which does not form its own or a social chase or which is not owned by a Czechoslovak natural or Czechoslovak legal person shall be assigned by the district office to the neighbouring hunting ground, as a general rule, which has the longest common border with such land, provided that the protection of natural property and the principles of sound hunting farming do not require any other affiliation. The owners of the land thus assigned shall be compensated. The closer conditions for granting this refund and its amount are laid down by the Ministry of Finance of the Czech Republic in general binding legislation. However, that refund shall not apply where the affluent land has been added to the collective chase and the owner has been accepted at his own request as a member of the relevant affiliation community.

(6) The wholly separated hunting grounds of one or more owners which are not related to other hunting grounds may be recognised by the district office as having its own hunting grounds (paragraphs 1 and 2 shall apply mutatis mutandis) or by society (paragraphs 3 and 4 shall apply mutatis mutandis), even if they do not reach 500 ha. The County Office may provide that game hunting in such hunting operations shall be carried out to a limited extent.

(7) The county authority may also recognise as a chase continuous hunting grounds owned by a vocational school in which hunters or animal research institutes are raised, even if they are less than 500 ha in size, but they create conditions for proper hunting. Proposals for recognition of hunting sites shall be submitted by owners of hunting grounds.

§ 6a

(1) If it requires the protection of natural wealth and the principles of sound hunting management, the chase may be rounded up by border balancing or by replacing the land. When rounding the hunt, no account shall be taken of the administrative units (districts).

(2) The border clearance of the hunting zone may be carried out by the district office for its recognition, up to a maximum of 5% of the total area of the chase. By balancing the borders, the total area may fall below 500 ha; the derogation from this provision is permitted by the Delegated Authority. When balancing borders, the district office shall ensure that the rounding is bilateral. It is for their owners to be compensated for the foreign hunting grounds attached to the chase in the context of border balancing. The Ministry of Finance of the Czech Republic provides for more detailed conditions for granting this compensation and its amount by means of a generally binding legislation.

(3) The replacement of hunting grounds may be proposed by the owner of the land which, pursuant to Article 6 (1), is entitled to apply for recognition of its own hunting or hunting community, provided that the borders of neighbouring hunting sites would be so unfavourable that, in view of the animal species present, there would be significant violations of the principles of good hunting and natural wealth protection. The application for the exchange of hunting land shall be submitted at the same time as the application for recognition of hunting grounds and shall take the form of a written contract concluded with the relevant landowner authorised to apply for recognition of his own hunting ground or the relevant hunting community. On its own initiative, the district authority may propose the exchange of hunting land (§ 5 (3)). In the exchange of land for rent, the area of hunting must not fall below 500 ha.

(4) The exchange of hunting land in specially justified cases where there would be a significant breach of the principles of good hunting and a significant burden on the protection of natural property is carried out by the district authority on its own initiative, within a maximum of 10% of the total area of hunting activity, so that the area of hunting does not fall below 500 ha.

(5) In justified cases, the procedure referred to in paragraphs 2 and 4 may be combined.

§ 7

(1) The District Office may recognise as a field of continuous hunting land owned by a Czechoslovak natural or Czechoslovak legal person, even if it does not reach 500 ha, provided that such land is permanently and perfectly enclosed, so that the animals which are kept therein cannot freely be removed. Other affluent land of other owners may be added to the land of one owner if agreed upon. The agreement must be in writing.

(2) According to paragraph 1, the County Office may recognise as a branch and associated affluent land several owners, provided that their owners establish an affluent community and submit a proposal for the recognition of the field.

§ 8

(1) The county authority may recognise as a separate pheasant the affluent land owned by a Czechoslovak natural or Czechoslovak legal person together with adjacent foreign affluent land for agriculture or forestry, where all such land is continuous and together create exceptionally suitable conditions for intensive breeding of pheasants; However, their total area does not need to be 500 ha. When recognising a separate pheasant, the district office shall decide at the same time on the affiliation of adjacent foreign hunting grounds to the extent necessary. The owners shall be compensated for the foreign property thus assigned. The Ministry of Finance of the Czech Republic provides for more detailed conditions for granting this compensation and its amount by means of a generally binding legislation.

(2) Under paragraph 1, the County Office may recognise multiple owners as a single pheasant as well as related affluent land, provided that their owners establish an affluent community and submit a proposal for the recognition of a separate pheasant.

§ 9

The land is related if you can get from one to the other without exceeding the land. The roads, roads, railway lines, natural and artificial watercourses and tanks or narrow land lanes on which the exercise of the right of hunting according to the principles of sound hunting farming is not possible do not interrupt the link of the land; If they lie in a longitudinal direction, they shall not establish a link between the parcels connected by them.

§ 10

The bad grounds are the land built, the courtyard, the courtyard, the yards, the gardens and the nurseries properly fenced, the square, the baits, the marketplace, the streets, roads and parks inside the built areas, railway tracks, railway stations, roads, and fenced land used for farm animal husbandry (§ 19 (3)), cemeteries. Other land may be declared a hostile district office for security reasons or for reasons of the military Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic.

§ 11

(1) The right of hunting in a recognised chase, branch and separate pheasant (hereinafter referred to as "honitba") is for the Czechoslovak natural or Czechoslovak legal person who has been recognised by it on its proposal, or for the owners of the hunting grounds recognised as hunting pursuant to Article 6 (2) or for the hunting community created subsequently after recognition of the hunting operation pursuant to Article 6 (4) (hereinafter referred to as "the owner of the hunting operation").

(2) The owner of the hunt shall be named by the district office in the decision on recognition of the chase or, where appropriate, in the supplement to the decision, if the hunting community was formed subsequently after recognition of the chase (Section 6 (4)).

§ 13

(1) The recognition of honitebs is decided by the district authority in whose district the land is situated. If the hunting grounds lie within the districts of more than one district office, the district office in whose district the largest part of the hunting grounds lie shall decide on the recognition of the hunting grounds, in agreement with the other authorities involved. Such agreements shall also be required in the case of rounding-off.

(2) The county office shall determine for each hunt the quality classes and the standardised states of the selected species of game. The list of species of game for which quality classes and standardized conditions are defined by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic, in agreement with the Ministry of the Environment of the Czech Republic.

(2) The hunting operator is obliged to keep records of the hunting operation and report for statistical purposes.

§ 26

The period of hunting of different types of game, or its defence, is determined by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic in agreement with the Ministry of the Environment of the Czech Republic.

§ 27

(1) The user of the chase shall be obliged to monitor and track animals shot or otherwise injured, which will either cross over or fly over to a foreign chase or to non-hunting grounds, but shall be obliged to inform the hunting operator of the hunting game, who may participate in the monitoring and tracing of the hunt; It is also obliged to inform users of non-profit-making land in advance.
