BASIC PROVISIONS

Díl I

Preliminary provisions
§ 1
Scope
(1) This law regulates the status of entrepreneurs, commercial obligations and certain other business relations.

If they cannot be dealt with in accordance with these rules, they shall be assessed according to commercial practice and, if not, according to the principles on which this law is based.
§ 2
Business
(1) Entrepreneurship means a continuous activity carried out separately by an entrepreneur in his own name and under his own responsibility for profit.
(2) The entrepreneur under this law is:
(a) a person registered in a commercial register;
(b) a person who does business on the basis of a trade licence;
(c) a person who carries out an activity under a non-trade permit under special rules;
(d) a natural person who operates an agricultural production and is registered in accordance with a specific regulation.

The address means the name of the municipality (part of the municipality), the postal code, the descriptive number, or the street or square name. The entrepreneur shall be obliged to register his head office or place of business. The seat of the organisational body of the undertaking (Section 7) shall be understood as the address of its location. The registered office of a legal person may be in an apartment only if the nature of the business is so permitted. The actual registered office shall be the address of the place from which the legal person is managed by his statutory authority.
§ 3
(1) The following shall be entered in the Commercial Register:
(a) commercial companies, cooperatives and other legal persons covered by the law;
(b) foreign persons under Paragraph 21 (4).

(3) A natural person who is an entrepreneur within the meaning of this Act (§ 2 (2) (b) to (d)) shall also be entered in the Commercial Register if:
(a) the amount of its net turnover determined under the special legislation has reached or exceeded, in the last two financial years, the amount which gives rise to the obligation to verify the accounts by the auditor;
(b) operate the business in an industrial way; or
(c) so provides for specific legislation.
(4) A natural person registered in accordance with paragraph 3 shall be required to submit an application for registration in the Commercial Register without undue delay after that obligation has arisen.
§ 3a
Unlawful business
(1) The nature or validity of a legal act is without prejudice to the fact that a person is prohibited from doing business or is not authorised to do business; This is without prejudice to § 49a of the Civil Code.
(2) A person who carries out an activity for which notification or authorisation is required under specific legislation, without such notification or authorisation, and persons who carry out such an activity on behalf of or on behalf of another person are liable for the damage caused by it; This shall be without prejudice to their liability under specific legislation.
§ 4
The provisions of this Act shall also apply to the relationships of persons other than entrepreneurs, if provided for by that law or by a special law.

Díl II

Company and commercial assets
§ 5
(1) For the purposes of this Act, a company shall mean a set of tangible, personal and intangible business components. The undertaking is subject to matters, rights and other assets which belong to the entrepreneur and serve to operate the undertaking or are intended to serve this purpose because of their nature.
(2) The company is a mass matter. The provisions on matters in the legal sense shall apply to its legal circumstances. This is without prejudice to the scope of specific legislation relating to immovable property, industrial and other intellectual property items, motor vehicles, etc., if they are part of an undertaking.
§ 6
(1) For the purposes of this Act, the commercial property of an entrepreneur who is a natural person shall mean property (goods, debts and other rights and money-worthy other values) which belongs to and serves or is intended for the business of an entrepreneur. The commercial property of an entrepreneur who is a legal person shall mean all of his assets.
(2) For the purposes of this Act, a set of commercial assets and liabilities incurred by an entrepreneur who is a natural person in connection with an enterprise shall be referred to as a commercial asset (hereinafter referred to as "assets'). The name of an entrepreneur who is a legal person is a set of all his assets and liabilities.
(3) The net commercial property shall be commercial property after deduction of liabilities incurred by the entrepreneur in connection with the business, whether it is a natural person or any liability, if it is a legal person.
(4) The equity shall consist of the own resources of the commercial assets of the entrepreneur and shall be shown on the liability side in the balance sheet.
§ 7
Organisational component of the enterprise
(1) A fissile plant is an organisational component of an enterprise that is registered as a fissile plant. When operating a fissile plant, a business company (§ 8) is used by an entrepreneur with the addition that it is a fissile plant.
(2) A similar position as a fissile plant is also held by another organisational component of an undertaking if the law provides that it is registered in a commercial register.
(3) An establishment means an area in which a certain business activity is carried out. The establishment shall be designated by the business firm to which the name of the establishment or other distinguishing mark may be attached.

Díl III

Company
§ 8
(1) A commercial firm (hereinafter referred to as "the firm") is the name under which the entrepreneur is registered. The entrepreneur is obliged to take legal action under his company.
(2) Entrepreneurs not registered in the Commercial Register shall not be subject to company provisions; legal acts shall be required to be carried out by a natural person, under his name and surname, and by a legal person, under his name.
§ 9
(1) The company of a natural person must always be its name and surname (hereinafter referred to as "the name"). A natural person's company may include an addendum to a distinguished person of an entrepreneur or type of business normally relating to that person or type of business.
(2) The name under which they are registered is the company of the company or of the cooperative and other legal entities that arise from registration in the Commercial Register. The company of a legal entity which is incorporated in a commercial register on the basis of a specific legal act and which arose before that registration is its name. Part of the company of legal persons is also an amendment indicating their legal form.
§ 10
(1) The company must not be interchangeable with another entrepreneur and must not be misleading. A different legal amendment is not sufficient to distinguish the company. In the case of a natural person, it is generally sufficient to distinguish the indication of another place of business. Where a natural person has the same name with another entrepreneur operating in the same place, he shall be obliged to add to the company an indication of the name by a sufficiently distinct amendment within the meaning of Paragraph 9 (1).
(2) Where more than one person is engaged under a common name without the establishment of a legal person, those persons shall be obliged to fulfil the obligations arising from such business jointly and severally. A common name is not a company.
§ 11
(1) Any person who inherits an undertaking or acquires it by contract may enter into a business under the current company with a successor supplement only if he has the express consent of the deceased or heirs or the legal predecessor.
(2) If the entrepreneur is a natural person who has changed his or her name, he or she may also use his or her previous name with an addition containing a new name.
(3) The company of the legal person is transferred to the successor legal person with the undertaking if the original legal person dies without liquidation and the successor legal person takes over the business. If the successor legal person has a different legal form, the Appendix shall be amended in accordance with its legal form.
(4) The transfer of the company without the simultaneous transfer of the company is inadmissible. The transfer of the company is also possible when a part of the company is transferred, if the business operator operates the remaining part under another company or the part ceases to be liquidated.
(5) Where a company of a legal person has the name of a partner or member who has ceased to be a partner or member, the legal person may continue to use its name only with its consent. In the event of the death or death of a member, his prior consent or the consent of the heir or successor shall be required.
(6) Businesses whose undertakings belong to the same group (Section 66a (7)) may contain the same elements if they contain an amendment to the group's membership and if they are sufficiently distinct from each other.
§ 12
(1) Those who have been affected by their rights by the unauthorized use of the company may request against the unauthorised user to refrain from doing so and to remove the malfunctioning. It may also require the issue of unjustified enrichment and reasonable satisfaction, which may also be provided in money.
(2) If damage has been caused by unauthorized use of the company, compensation may be claimed under this law.
(3) The Court of First Instance may grant the party whose application has been granted the right in the judgment to publish the judgment at the expense of the unsuccessful party and, where appropriate, to determine the scope, form and manner of publication.

Díl IV

Business conduct
§ 13
(1) Where the entrepreneur is a natural person, he shall act in person or on behalf of a representative. The legal person shall act as a statutory body or as a representative.
(2) The provisions of this Act on individual companies and cooperatives are defined by the statutory body whose conduct is the conduct of an entrepreneur.
(3) The head of the organisational body of the undertaking (§ 7 (1) and (2)), which is registered in the Commercial Register, is empowered to act as an entrepreneur in all legal acts relating to that branch.
(4) Where an entrepreneur is a legal person, he shall be bound against third parties by an act carried out by his statutory authority or by a liquidator, even if he has exceeded the scope of his business, unless it is an act which goes beyond the powers conferred on him or allows him to entrust the law.
(5) The limitation of the legal authorisation of the statutory body of a legal person resulting from the statutes, a social contract or any other similar document, or from the decisions of the legal entity's bodies, may not be applied to third parties, even if published.
§ 13a
Commercial instruments
(1) Each entrepreneur shall be required to indicate on all orders, business letters and invoices an indication of his company, name or name, seat or place of business and identification number; persons registered in a commercial register or other register shall also indicate the registration, including the file mark.
