The Supreme Court in its decision of 17.9.2025, sp. zn. 25 Cdo 2087/2024 stated that the right of a parent to stay with a hospitalized child is not absolute.

Data on beneficial owners remain available, in particular, to public authorities and obliged entities under AML regulations (e.g. banks or lawyers) via remote access and to those who demonstrate a legitimate interest. The change was made in response to the case law of the Czech supreme courts, following a ruling by the Court of Justice of the EU, according to which unrestricted public access constituted an unreasonable intrusion on privacy.
